Read you Bible. It is perfectly acceptable in
the eyes of God to hunt and fish for food.
There is no such thing as reincarnation and we will
not come back "in your next life" as animals or anything else.
We will each be judged at judgement day and be held
accountable for how we lived this life.
The "next life" will be for eternity in either
heaven or hell. God gave us the option and the choice is ours on an
individual basis.
Me and my family choose to believe in the word of
God and live our lives accordingly, everyone else has to make their own
choice.
Tom

> One can understand why if you have priced meat at the

cheap in my life. Boneless skinless chicken breasts at $1.70/lb, top
sirloin $1.90/lb, salmon fillets $3.00/lb. I don't even bother to
stock up anymore because the prices keep falling. Bad karma to kill
animals. You might wind up a brightly colored deer in your next
life.--- In realtraders@xxxx, "Tom Bowen" <kenoor@xxxx>

programmer in C, C++, PC Assembler, Visual Basic, etc, etc,
etc. I am retired now so my days, nights and weekends all kind
of run together. If I were going to trade with a mechanical system I
would just open a managed Futures account and let it go at that. I
love the trading business for what it is and I love to trade. The
thrill of winning and the agony of defeat and all that stuff. I
enjoy challenging the market place, doing the analysis, deciding which
markets to trade, calculating entry and exit points, testing new trading
ideas/concepts and all the other work that goes along with being in
control of ones destiny. I do not and will not insult my
intelligence by watching television so trading is my profession, hobby and
entertainment. When most people are sitting down in front of the
stupid tube after dinner I go to my computer room and trade.
Different strokes for different folks. After spending all day with
me I think my wife is glad to get rid of me for a while in the evening

ever growing relationship with God the father and my savior Jesus

be held accountable for the way we lived our lives and that is all that is
going to matter.> > God bless everyone who reads this
