The Very Height Of Stupidity

Believe it or not, there are actually people who are upset at this video of Obama swatting a fly, then sort of gloating about his Daniel-San-like reflexes and hand-eye coordination. PETA has, of course, jumped on the bandwagon, with some snarky remark about how "the Buddha has a long way to go." So it's not okay to kill insects now? Honestly, I have a real problem with people who can't distinguish different levels of existence. A fly is not equal to a human, or a dog or a dolphin or even a mouse. It's a fly. Am I supposed to not brush my teeth because it kills innocent bacteria? Actually, I don't brush my teeth, so that's a bad example. But you get my drift. At some point, one reaches the threshold below which everything is fair game. My scale bottoms out right above PETA member.
