A Means To An End

By no means has my realization–mentioned in my post “Here I Go… Thinking Again…“–changed or will it change my outlook on dogs, or my love for Freddy.

The current state of canines, among a ton of other animals we use for companionship or even “sustenance,” is something we created through domestication and selective breeding. Well past the point of “nature.” There isn’t much that is really “natural” in our lives anymore. We’ve got our greedy little mitts in anything and everything. I can’t help but ask is the world a better place resulting from what we’ve done? Continue reading A Means To An End

Here I Go… Thinking Again

I recently finished reading Joan Dunayer’s book, Speciesism.

“Enslavement is wrong, murder is wrong, and causing innocent beings to suffer is wrong. Fully as much as humans, all nonhumans are entitled to life, freedom, and other basic rights. Humans deny this for only one reason: speciesism.”

Isn’t it a positive sign when a given piece of literature causes a person to actually think about what was “discussed?” I mean really grapple with the issues.

I was watching American Morning again this morning. I know, I like shit television. Why not go with the best?

Anyway they cut to the douche bag live from Israel talking out his ass, yet again. Likening his shit talk to a specific presidential wannabe’s (that isn’t a compliment) views to a certain American Senator, who I believe wished he’d talked to Hitler once they invaded Poland. Or some such bullshit. I’m not at all sure of the specifics of said event(s) and believe me I’m the last person to comment on this. But CNN somehow compared his all too familiar stupidity to Barack Obama saying he’d talk to Syria and Iran once elected. Blah, blah, blah… Continue reading Prescott Sheldon Bush

At Long Last

Today I upgraded my WordPress blog software to the current version (2.5.1). Kinda threw me for a loop. Things are not where I left ’em. Just when you’re comfortable using something they go and change it. Just kidding. It’s not like it Microsoft and the changes are from outta left field, or copied from somewhere else. Shit I didn’t really just say that, did I?

Anyway with my news and that lame poke out of the way I should probably note that I was finally and successfully (look at me) able to set up an archive index. Where all my posts are and, from this point on will be organized by the date they were published or by subject (category) they’ve been filed under. Or if you prefer to fuck the whole system you can “search” for whatever you’re after by yourself. At long last. Cool? Continue reading At Long Last
