A while back, we received a message from a webpage visitor who wrote,
"You don't liberate hamsters by depriving them of cheese."

In the past few years, this has become quite an academic debate:  Can you
effect freedom for rodents by removing the oppressors' tools of oppression
(that is, man-made cheese and cheese products)?  Or, would such deprivation
cause more slavery as rodents strive to obtain what has most certainly
become an (albeit artificial) essential staple in their diets?   The
arguments around the tables of HLF Headquarters has become rather heated
at times, to the point where certain members have spoken about splitting
from the party and forming their own.  However, in the interest of unity
and cohesion, all members have agreed this debate cannot be solved without
great time and expenditure and, thus, must be tabled for the time being
while we strive toward more immediate and pressing goals. 

Nevertheless, I believe the writer directed his statement to the wrong page.
We have set up the Hamster Liberation Front page at:

http://home.earthlink.net/~gbohon/ 

while the Anti-Cheese Hamster Liberation Alliance at 

http://www.jboon.demon.co.uk/achla.htm 

speaks of "less cheese."  We have publicly declared our desire to provide
hamsters freedom through teaching them to make their own cheese and cheese
products and would never state (or even think) they should be for even one
moment deprived of such a life-sustaining goodness.
