not enough said; not enough done … (08/21/13)

Every atrocity in the entire history of humankind was enabled by a populace of people who passively turned away from a reality that they deemed too painful to face …

Every revolution that brought peace and justice in the history of mankind was made possible by a group of people who chose to bear witness to similar atrocities, and then demanded that others bear witness to them as well.

This very day, there are atrocities taking place in your country.

This very day, there are atrocities taking place in your neighborhood.

This very day, there are atrocities taking place in your own home.

These travesties are taking place today, and they are going to take place again tomorrow. The only question that remains is — are you going to contribute to their continuation, or are you going to take a stand to help make them stop.

Please join me in doing what we can to stop the madness …

Please go vegan today.

Thank you.

“Despite all the advancements of human ‘civilization’, our addiction to the needless killing of our animal cousins keeps us firmly enshrouded in the dark ages. It inhibits us from cultivating our deeper capacity for kindness, empathy, and justice; the very qualities we MUST develop if we are to move forward into a safe and prosperous future; a future in which we do not fear one another … a future of Peace.” ~ inspired by Angel Flinn
