And from the farmland, you set up a food industry that also deals with the proper way of raising and slaughtering the creatures of God that you intend to eat. Brothers and sisters, you don’t run around after a chicken with an axe in your hand—the poor chicken’s scared to death. … When you get “scared,” you release hormones that give you the power of “fight” or “flight.” Well, the chicken is running, because you’re running after it with an axe in your hand; --- And when you finally get the chicken and hit it, and you have to hit it twice: Then when you eat the meat it’s toug...

My thanks to each of you who had anything to give. --- My thanks to some of the professors who gave money that this event might be held. We thank the administrators of the school for whatever assistance they gave. And even those who tried to make it very difficult, we thank you, too.
