Personally, I give the terrorists more respect than our Chinese friends. At least they’re forthright about wanting to rule the world and destroy the West.

And since we’re in the season of culturally obligatory (and often cheap-as-possible) material purchases, let me once again ask everyone to please consider gifts from local artisans and US manufacturers this year. Even better, forgo the gifts, actually show your families where you heart is, and ask that they donate to local food banks in lieu of more toxic shiny junk you don’t need.

Too much meat for a Friday.

Let’s all just agree that fur is tacky and move on.

It’s funny, I don’t see many of the Anti-Choice talking heads advocating for a better support network for mothers who might not take their pregnancy to term owing to lack of childcare, health insurance or financial means. You’d think they’d be right behind a more lengthy, paid maternity leave, legal protection for breastfeeding mothers, funding for sliding scale child care, health care for all.

I eat vegan about %98 of the time making the odd exception for some pasture fed dairy or local honey. My primary bone to pick is with big factory farms, industrial slaughter house operations and people who don’t think beyond the package that their food comes in. Really, in this day and age if you don’t know about the disgusting practices of these places you are willfully ignorant.

Fur is tacky…another instance of willfull ignorance.

- Once Oppenheimer saw the destruction of the a-bomb, he became quite an outspoken opponent of destructive technology, to the detriment of his career. It’s a bit more difficult to find a profiteer of any sort (on wall st., in sweat shops, slum lords, politicians, lawyers, etc.) who considered the broader social implications of their ‘work’ and made a reasoned, responsible change.

I actually watched Gary Y.’s Georgia Tech speech on youtube (not the intro propaganda piece, the “Humans are Herbivores” vid), one question: Has any medical doctor supported or refuted his assertions that we’re anatomically not designed to be carnivores (based on the length of our intestines, carbohydrate digestive enzymes, jaw hinge, straight teeth, etc)? This is actually quite an interesting argument.

Lots of people get confused by the layout on RBG. The commenter’s name comes after the post. It was Bill who made the abortion comment, not furisdead.

Pathetic, freaky, hypocritical ‘values’ at the very least.
