MILK FOR THE MASSES: British blogger
Iain Murray links to a story in
The Scotsman that warms the cockles of my heart.
When two PETA busybodies, one of whom was costumed as a cow, showed up at a Scottish grammar school to protest human consumption of milk, many of the pupils weren't impressed. While chanting "Milk for the masses," a contingent of about 100 students pelted the PETA goobs with milk. Lots and lots of milk. The police eventually rescued the lactose-laden protestors before they curdled.
One student, 16-year-old Alan Smith, observed, "This is a stupid idea. We should be encouraged to drink milk and I certainly won’t stop drinking milk just because a man has dressed up as a cow outside my school."
