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.

Last night was like an invasion of the body snatchers! I didn't recognize either of them. I was actually sputtering. I'm glad to see Obama recovered and is back to his normal self.
Oh, I just remembered something. Remember what Mittens said about tax breaks for outsourcing? Instead of saying how bad the outcome of outsourcing was for Americans and what he might do to fix that, he instead lamented (feigned) the fact that his accountant hadn't gotten him that tax break...
I am glad to see him 'telling it like it is' - in a way it is damage control, post debate. I only hope Biden can put Ryan in his place next week since if Ryan 'takes it', we'll be looking at a grim situation.
