“Have you ever had one of those life changing events? Where you have little choice but to heed it’s wishes? I’ve had a few. My accident is one. Going vegan is two. And the third one happened just this past Saturday. And all are equally momentous…”

“That said, I also rewrote both my About and Accessibility statements recently, too. I stripped out all the technical detail relating to the stuff I spend much of my time away from here doing. And the reason I’m choosing today, of all days to post this bit of shameless self-promotion, is how 9/11 has come to relate to the topic I wrote about in my revised statement concerning Accessibility…”
‘There are reasons the people who came before us fought and, in some cases, died for the rights we so callously take for granted. But, make no mistake, it goes both ways. If you give employers an inch they’ll take a mile. Again, some employers do — I’m looking straight at you Wal-Mart. But not all will. Any assertion claiming all employers are looking to exploit their workforces would be just as unfair…”
“This is not anything I haven’t heard before, nor was my criminal crack earlier directed at the media, exclusively — the media are merely providing the public with “news” they want to hear, and are willing to pay for with their attention (a simplistic assertion, I know) — but let’s be real. It’s acts such as Tim’s that will end up making a difference. You’ll notice I said “a” and not “the.” It’s too late for that. It’s no longer about stopping our destruction, it’s about mitigating it…”
“The fact a woman can bear children is part of the human experience. Thus it’s her human right. Just as access to anywhere I might want to go should be mine (I’m looking right at you University of Toronto). Whether any woman chooses to have a child or not is irrelevant. So, I feel, all these arguments toward a woman receiving less pay based on the fact she can have children are disingenuous…”
“But I’ve taken her words out of context, you say? It’s quite possible I have. I can admit it. Not that I care. I’ve no idea where or why she was talking when the footage was shot that was featured in this piece. I guess it’s possible, like conservative Tea Party “activists” claim, she was speaking towards the “presence of speakers [that are linked, but not charged, in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing being] at the event.” Fair enough. Anything is possible…”
“Afterall, when all is said and done, veganism isn’t a new thing — well stemming from ethics maybe, in the span of time that represents human history, veganism is only a couple hundred years old. But it’s how people, mainly poor demographics, and civilizations have ate and survived for millennia…”
OK, my logic seems, and probably is, flawed, in someways. I’m not the least bit afraid to admit or acknowledge that. But in others, I think it’s sound. Things aren’t always so black or white…
