Insecure, paranoid, and just plain sad. The world makes a little more sense having just finished Sydney H. Schanberg’s article “McCain And The POW Cover-Up” over at the NationInstitute.org…
I Can’t And I Won’t Argue That
Last night, shortly after posting yesterday’s effort, I caught wind (a.k.a. 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 took precedent 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…
Details Are Scarce
I recently had a friend ask me about my veganism. Which was great! The more I’m asked, the more chances I have to get the word out, right?Â
Anyway I’m always very careful about how I approach people’s curiosity when I’m asked about my life’s choices. Mostly because I’m not too sure how receptive they will be to viewpoints I have regarding certain decisions I’ve made. My position on animal rights being the most glaring example. However I feel compelled to make it known, immediately, the choices I’ve made regarding being a vegan derive, at least initially, from an animal rights stance. After that. It’s a free-for-all. I’ll see where we end up.
You see I’m of the mind it’s always best to ease yourself into these conversations prior to laying out any opinions. Don’t come on too strong. Let them lead. And judge their reception by the questions they ask. Face it, people aren’t always receptive to the truth, even if they ask for it. Especially when it comes to their food choices.Â
In my experience, people are much more content to swallow the “blue pill” and ignore what’s really going on. But, as it turns out, if you keep at it, your words will be heard, eventually…Â
Ha!
Why are my RSS Feeds so much fun? I just tripped over “Another Reason To Hate Fake Punk” over at Food Fight Vegan Grocers;
“I need protein from food rather than just protein supplements. I changed my diet. I would do anything I possibly could if they said like, ‘There’s a possibility you might heal faster if you do eat meat or just change your eating habits’. So I did. I don’t regret it at all, I feel so much better.â€

Too funny. Head on over to my October 13th post to get a leg up. Ooh yeah, I need to see that!
