Mine too. I lived in Topeka Kansas then and there were several outraged columns
in the newspaper and the local stations of course banned her. Kansas of course
is the state when you enter you see a large billboard of a steak, with the
simple command "Eat Beef!" This slogan is apparantly also required to be
displayed on all pick up trucks in the state. I've seen lesbians at Kansas
rodeos, but never an "out" vegetarian. Some things are just beyond the pale.
