Looked up "Balut" (me vegetarian and was clueless about this one) and I
agree with you - each person has to draw his or her own line

This one is really tough as well. It is hard to watch/listen to Bill
O'Reilly even if you split your mind open - it is the worst kind of
spin in the so called "no spin zone". But it is fascinating to watch
how  single minded and well thought out propaganda works. And I have
never even tried Rush Limbaugh!
