I Do What I Want: Baby violence.

Baby violence.

Big things are happening people. Big things.

I love big things. Big ol' juicy things (allow your mind to take you where it may).

I am having some big ol' panic attacks about all this every once in a while, but I'd be more worried if I didn't. I feel like if I'm not panicking something heinous and visualizing the horrible demise of my happiness at the next turn, then I'm not really living. It's healthy.

Yesterday I punched imaginary things. Lots of them. I accidently punched a baby, but babies are resilient. That's what I'm learning at work. I can let babies jump off counters and eat bleach and they'll probably be fine. (If my boss ever sees this or any future employer of the childcare variety or any law enforcement agency or anyone with a conscience, I'll probably never work or live in society again. That's probably going to happen and my happiness with meet its demise.)

Of course I'm kidding about the baby neglect and violence.

Oh. kid just walked into work. I'll be back.

Food, Water, and Shelter

We are all very aware of the environmental movement taking place due to global climate change. Finally, many people of all sorts are listening to the earth and making more sustainable choices. Even my grandparents are recycling, and if the elderly can change their ways then this thing must be happening. I am an environmentalist and promote environmental protection through a vegan lifestyle. Many think of me as an animal rights fiend who would jump in front of moving traffic to save a frog (which is true), but I am also a planet rights fiend who would jump in front of traffic to save the planet. Meat-eating is one of the worst contributors to global warming. Qué? I hear your question and I'll tell you what I can. Factory farming is the corporate means of raising and slaughtering animals for meat. There are often times THOUSANDS of animals on a single farm. Not only are the crowded conditions horrendous and nightmarish for the animals who suffer them every day until they are killed, but they also cause the accumulation of excrement and other bodily wastes that pollute the land, and especially the water. The feces have extraordinarily damaging effects on the ecosystems near the farms. Plants and animals become mutated or extinct in massive quantities because of the animal wastes that come from this feces and the drug-laden animal carcasses. The EPA states that 35,000 miles of rivers in 22 states contaminated groundwater in 17 states. This pollution not only ruins the ecosystems that surround these contaminated areas, but also our drinking water. Besides the groundwater, oceans suffer the effects of animal farming. Much of the animal wastes from farming in the middle US merges into the Mississippi River and thus empties into the Gulf of Mexico. Nitrogen from the polluted river sparks major algae growth and diminishes oxygen for other plant and animal life.

These are just small examples of a major problem swallowing this planet. If humans continue to eat meat at the ravenous rate, the pollution will soon return the favor. There is no action without a reaction, and it is becoming obvious that our selfish and indulgent ways are killing us and future generations. Vegetarianism is a PERFECT way to stop the damage and cleanse this planet. We all can relate to the need for food, water, and shelter. If we can harmonize these elements into a sustainable process, then we will all surely prosper. Eat veggie, have clean water, and save our shelter.

Food is change.

Change your food.

Intrinsic Value For Sale

Money is manmade. It is not precious. It has no intrinsic value. We give it all the value it possesses, yet somehow it still manages to control us and causes us to do or permit some things to be done that we would not do otherwise.

You are not an animal rights activist. You care about other things and are busy as a beaver in a blue lagoon bathed in sunlight with a smell of oncoming rain looming in the air. You know what I'm talking about.

Anyways.... the point is, you don't have to completely agree with us hippies and be an activist to have a place in your heart against animal cruelty. It is my belief that animal testing can be an issue that all humans agree about given the right information.

While animal testing in the medical field is very controversial and required, animal testing in cosmetics, cleaning supplies, and other chemical industries is unnecessary, disgusting, and completely avoidable. We all bathe (even us hippies) and all like to smell so fresh and so clean clean when we gunna get some (some can be defined as whatever you like to get while smelling good). With an industry that is SOOOO largely a part of our lives, we SHOULD be informed about it. Face it, corporations define many aspects of our lives and too often we trust that they are doing the right things for our health, our families, and our planet. Truly, though, most corporations... well all.... only care about money and are held at very low standards by law enforcement. We need to take the power away from useless green paper and back into the considerate minds of humans. Giving up products that are tested on animals is an amazing means to change. That would save the lives of MILLIONS of animals every year and raise the standards of corporations in all respects. If we pay attention, they have to do what we want.

I shop for only products not tested on animals. At first, it was hard to find what grocery stores/pharmacies carried such products. It wasn't long though before I realized that I could buy all soaps, lotions, shampoos, detergents, house cleaners, and dog/cat foods, that are cruelty free. There are many other perks to buying such products besides saving animals. Most avoid harmful chemicals that are linked to causing cancer. Also, many are much less harmful to the environment. If animals aren't your motivation, let the fact that you and your family could live healthier in a cleaner environment. If your argument for animal testing is that it eliminates human suffering by removing harmful products from the shelves, these cruelty-free products beg to differ. Animal testing is lame. We should all require that we only use the best products- for us and our ethical minds.

Have a question, comment, or want to know more you can do? email me! I'm pretty much bored all the time.

The Voice for the Voiceless

"Veggie Tales" and its supporters seek to act as a mediator between non-human and human species. It demands the respect for all life, particularly the life that belongs to those that humans use for convenience. "Veggie Tales" strives to educate the general population- the population that is likely unaware of the torture to animals that occurs daily-about the extent of animal involvement in our lives and our involvement in theirs. Along with mass-education, "Veggie Tales" acts as a resource for aware and activist humans who wish to live a cruelty-free lifestyle. "Veggie Tales" will continue and evolve until Animal Rights are no longer neglected and animals receive the respect they inherently deserve. "Veggie Tales" and all supporters believe that peace is ONLY possible when it takes on all forms: peace towards all races, all nationalities, all religions, and all species.
