Frank!

I'm finding Benjamin Franklin's autobiography a really entertaining read.

'So convenient a thing it is to be a reasonable Creature, since it enables one to find or make a Reason for every thing one has a mind to do.'

Describing his change from a vegetarian to a meat eater after he smells a lovely bit a fish, and justifys eating it by noting that this fish eats smaller fish; Ergo the fish has no moral objection to him eating it!

Update more later
