  2. Hello? Helloooo!

    Whoah, it’s quiet around here. Wait a minute, who’s that down there on the hot sidewalk? Hey, it’s a little earthworm. There you go buddy, back into the soil you go.

  5. Have you had a look at Jonathan Safran Foer’s book on factory farming?

    here’s the site

    Nothing new for us, of course.

  7. Actually, at that site, the ‘resources’ tab is quite good. Links some good sites and explains that now 99% of meat in shops and restaurants is factory. Not bad for a mainstream book.

  8. All things are simple when looked at from the truth that the needs of the environment are above all else.

    Eating meat - bad

    Earthworms - good

  9. Watch out, Andy, or you’ll get labelled a militant vegan.

  10. Question, why is it that most people who spring up to have a go at activists or vegans for being militant and rant on about how it hurts the issues etc etc etc .... rarely bat an eyelid or make any public comment on stuff like, the action of the USA military, invasions or coups, police brutality, corporate destruction of the environment ..and so on?

    Because whether they admit it to themselves or not, they are reactionaries in denial, possibly unaware of their conditioning, defending the interest of the powerful.

    automatons - bad

    earthworms - good

  11. As far as I can tell, it’s all about what we’re conditioned to view as “normal.”

  12. Eating Meat = Bad.

    Eating Earthworms = very bad.

  13. Rick, from the other night, Clophill is a village in Bedfordshire (or “Nowhere”, on most Ordnance Survey maps).
    Our main claim to fame, apart from the ‘haunted’ 13th century church that remains an oik-magnet, was the Elephant Cage. It was a SIGINT array, apparently designed to intercept international telecommunications to be analysed at the nearby US Intelligence base. The name comes from parents telling their kids that the lights were from elphants walking around the structure with torches in their trunks.

    OT: Worms! Yay!

  14. Hello all. We’re in the midst of a blizzard here in NYC but that hasn’t stopped me from putting up another jam-packed new post.

    See you there…
