Today in "ludicrous consumption news", I acquired a fur coat. I would rather have a personal demonic milquetoast, but one makes do with what one has.

In my defense, I didn't really mean to. There was an ebay auction, and I put in the minimum bid as a lark, and then I won it, to my chagrin. It's not like I can wear it anywhere. It's dyed rabbit, which I think is the fur equivalent of polyester. But it is very warm, and I don't hold heat well on my own. Also, it makes me feel the very model of decadent monarchy.

(And, yes, it bothers me, but I eat meat and wear leather, and I have never had pretensions to saintliness.)

You remember things from elementary school? That's really something.

I actually wear wool coats almost without exception. I'm kind of a snob that way. (Hard to believe, I know.)

And, yeah, there's not much rational reason to oppose using the outer layers of food animals as clothing. It just seems so bizarre because you don't see people wearing fur anywhere.
