In our bottom on top, greedy money and low class/intellect status quo on top world, where we live in a state of social communism, where all opinions matter and have equal validity, no matter the morality and intellect involved, we have lost all boundaries, standards, and moral and sensical code. That’s why Trump is...
A Vegan World
A vegan world is every animal rights activist’s dream. It’s not as farfetched an idea as it was, even ten years ago, and the world is definitely moving towards it. From plant based media trends, to medically recommended plant-based diets, the move in food is away from meat, and this is really great news. Still,...
Austerity: The Politics That Kills
Austerity is a political system and economic philosophy that benefits very few people. Those it benefits are the very rich, and those who derive emotional benefit from its policies and ideology. Its a bullying, abusive, selfish and noncompassionate policy, and its proud of it. Small and medium-size businesses and even large ones are hurt...
On Me, You and Everybody
I’m happy to be able to say that, as an adult, I have developed the qualities, values and ethics that I always admired when I was younger, and I work hard to sustain and improve upon them. I’ve probably always had them, but like most people didn’t always act upon them. That’s a part...
No Alcohol, No Problem
It’s pretty sad that we as a society are really against drunk driving and teen rape, but also, as a society, adhere to the peer pressure belief that you need to drink to be cool/adult/throw a good party. It’s a real social stigma, and one that costs people their lives and health. Once the...

Peace on Earth, Peace in Syria
I posted these comments and thoughts the day after President Trump’s ordered airstrikes against Syria. While I do agree that actions against the Syrian government and President Assad must be taken and I have supported military intervention in the past, I think it time we as a world changed our response and way of...
Changing the world for animals
Some people get so defensive in regard to animal rights because they feel they are being blamed. That’s really not the case. It’s not about blame. In our culture and world animal abuse is normal. What animal rights activists are doing is just opening people’s eyes, hearts and mind to the abuse so it...
A Hero of Our Time: Rob Stewart 1979-2017
I just watched the live stream of Rob Stewart’s funeral. Rob, the producer and star of the documentaries Sharkwater and Revolution, was a greatly respected and beloved member of the animal rights community. We were a community stunned by his death and to many, being able to live stream the funeral was a way...
Advice and Inspiration for 2017
2017 will be hard but not all bad if we care and fight what the future seems to hold. There is still reason for hope. Trump’s victory is very bad news for many people but the protests and exasperation show the majority is ready to move on. So let’s do that. Carry on, move...
