I guess
I didn't realise until recently (watching the Borgias), or just forgot, that Leonardo da Vinci was a vegetarian.

Was just reading this page and found it all quite interesting.. I should pick up some of these books if they're available, he sounds like a right down to earth, no bullshit respectable kinda guy.
My beliefs are similar to a lot of what he says here, not entirely about plants and some other things, but I'm too tired to go into that right now.
A quote:
"Creatures shall be seen upon the earth who will always be fighting one with another, with very great losses and frequent deaths on either side. These shall set no bounds to their malice; by their fierce limbs a great number of the trees in the immense forests of the world shall be laid level with the ground; and when they have crammed themselves with food it shall gratify their desire to deal out death, affliction, labours, terrors and banishment to every living thing. And by reason of their boundless pride they shall wish to rise towards heaven, but the excessive weight of their limbs shall hold them down. There shall be nothing remaining on earth or under the earth or in the waters that shall not be pursued and molested or destroyed, and that which is in one country taken away to another; and their own bodies shall be made a tomb and the means of transit of all the living bodies which they have slain. O Earth! what delays three to open and hurl them headlong into the deep fissures of they huge abyss and caverns, and no longer to display in the sight of heaven so savage and ruthless a monster?"
lol, I hear ya dude. People are dumb and slow.. they're trying to get there. Eventually. Maybe. It might be too late by now, but hopefully not considering mankind has taken millions of years to get to this stage. Regardless of the future of humankind I think this energy can't be wasted and it will find vessel in some other creature one day, and I guess it will try again.
I wonder if a part of my soul was ever a dinosaur. Well of course, probably.
