An Ode to Evolution … (06/30/17)
No matter what one happens to believe about how the human brain evolved over the span of past epochs, it is hopefully now clear to most that it is more-than-unwise to cling to outdated habits of primitive barbarism — especially when those behaviors are killing our selves, killing others, and killing our planet … In […]
The Math of Meat … (06/29/17)
The math of meat is pretty simple, really — Killing some animals to eat their flesh + loving other animals as heartfelt companions = inevitably treating fellow humans the same way; loving the people we find to be “cute” or “nice” or otherwise sympathetic, while shunning or ridiculing or even killing the rest. Labeling certain […]

A Taste of TRUTH … (06/27/15)
“There’s a very deep peace of the mind and calm of the Soul that comes from removing your life from the inherent violence of turning beautiful, living, feeling beings into butchered bodies … The raw, brutal events that occur at places such as slaughterhouses, feedlots, factory farms, family farms, processing plants, egg hatcheries and insemination […]
