Something I Should Address

On Friday I downloaded and listened to the Angry Hippie‘s latest podcast, “Episode 30.” In it he made mention “WhiteÂ Privilege” and had a talk with the “Science Dude” about transgenics (GMOs).Â Quiet anÂ invigoratingÂ hour and a few minutes.

My initial impression from hearing said podcast raised some questions regarding transgenics specifically. While still relevant, I further thought it through, and decided what was discussed on matters of “White Privilege”Â are that much more important and, potentially (where the 2008 US election is concerned), costly.

I’ll write about that today…

Someone Has Issues

Last night, shortly after posting yesterday’s effort, I caught wind (a.k.a.Â received an email) that The Freaks posted their latest podcast, “Veganism 101 and we get angry with the Angry Hippie.” I haven’t heard the ass end of said podcast yet, but, not to worry I will. “Uh?”

The first part of it, which I have heard, I though would have fit in well as a footnote to yesterday’s post. But I was tired and vowed to append my post today. Then, this morning, I came across an entry they, well Bob, posted on their blog yesterday, as well, “The Failure Of The Single Issue Campaign.” Which tookÂ precedentÂ over any addition I could hope to add to a formor post.

So I thought I’d mention the new podcast on my way to another more relevant point…

Milestones

Well today’s entry signifies my 100th poorly implemented, half thought-out rambling. And 11 days short of an official year of blogging, too. Not bad, I’d say, considering I hit 50 posts just this past August 13th. Which, in itself demonstrates something, I suppose.

I’ve stepped up my efforts here, primarily, for one reason. I’m making a concentrated effort to “write” much more often than I have in the past, in an effort to better my “skills” at the craft. But, ever more importantly, to learn about and hopefully develop a writing style.

So I can write a book…
