Cognitive Dissidence
What people probably do not realize is that at heart, I agree with the claim that we have an ethical responsibility towards animals. We have done away with cultural and racial discrimination, I feel that the next logical step is to dissolve our tendencies towards species discrimination. I purposefully disagree with the many of the claims asserted in our global ethics course because debate and argument forces our discussions to attain new levels of intellectual discovery.

I would like to see your supporting evidence for your statement "we have done away with cultural and racial discrimination." If such a place exists, I suggest we all spend a lot of time learning from it.
I should probably have clarified, my intention was to say that we have long since eradicated most traces of racial discrimination in the mainstream media; we will never eradicate racism as a whole, I believe it is innate in our species to a certain extent.
I just took Bill O'Reilly into consideration, and I'd like to withdraw my statement.
