You want to know what kind of vampire I am, how I feel about how I feed.
You are fascinated with how I choose my prey, with the remorse I may or
may not feel, so I will tell you. I feel no more nor less remorse than you do.
Certainly I put more thought into my meals than you, and I suspect that
every meal I make (though, sadly, far fewer than you) improves the quality
of the earth, for you merely denude the earth of resources sought or created
for your own use, whereas I relieve the earth of a consumer, and survive on
a resource that renews and regenerates all on its own without any husbandry
from me.
