Never allow your wanton desires to interfere with the basic needs and interests of others and live simply so others may simply live
My Pledge to the Readers of this Blog
The progress of social justice is slow and measured. Its growth depends on an increasing number of us becoming aware of the truth and consequences of our actions.
I believe that it is morally wrong to allow our wanton desires to interfere with the basic needs and interests of other sentient beings.
I believe the physical and psychological abuse – confinement, social deprivation, mutilation, genetic and reproductive manipulation, and profit exploitation – imposed by us on other animals is morally wrong.
I believe the suggestion that the exploitation of other sentient beings by humans can be achieved without cruelty, violence, or injustice is false and misleading.
As an advocate for all life, committed to compassion and justice, I refuse to take part in the exploitation of other sentient beings or to collaborate with those caught up in such injustice.
I pledge to do my best to live a life that conveys a clear, sincere and uncompromised message that is free of resentment, fear, exploitation, anger, cynicism, and manipulation.
Furthermore, I pledge to continue to support a broad range of nonviolent initiatives and programs that will hopefully one day eliminate the needless pain and suffering we inflict upon all the many wonderful creatures with whom we share this planet.

Of course it is heart wrenching Dee. Even more heart wrenching is how humanity is so far removed in this age we live in. And the current political scene becomes the blackest of jokes. And it is as bad or worse in other countries. What matters really doesn't ever hit the legislative tables. One can only live one's own conscience. That is the best one can do. If I had money I would give it to such a cause. Other than that I have no power really. The peaceable kingdom is far away. I mind my own turf, try to be kind with all I meet. Maybe someday humanity gets its shit together or maybe it doesn't. I have children now that don't want to have children because they do not want to put such a bitter irony upon them.
