	I do not favor any morality or another, but in "Spy of
the Century" a book about the leader of the German Intelligence,
Reinhart Gehlen, it mentions that Hitler was a strict
vegetarian who was concerned about the killing of animals
and even saw to it that laws were passed dictating that
animals be killed in as painless a manner as possible.

	The fellow definately had non-standard priorities.
