“Our economic order is tightly woven around the exploitation of animals, and while it may seem easy to dismiss concern about animals as the soft-headed mental masturbation of people who really don't understand oppression and the depths of actual human misery, I hope to get you to think differently about suffering and pain, to convince you that animals matter, and to argue that anyone serious about ending domination and hierarchy needs to think critically about bringing animals into consideration.” PeopleThinkingNeedsHumansMayMatterSeemsPainSufferingOrderEasyAnimalEconomicSeriousConcernMiseryDepthArguingOppressionConsiderationConvinceVegetarianVeganExploitationDominationHierarchyWovenMasturbationEconomic OrderSuffering And Pain Author:Bob Torres
“Political monopoly and economic monopoly are two sides of the same coin, two heads of the same monster. Despite all the claims to the contrary, the essential ideology of Neo-Conservatism is to preserve the status quo, with all of its injustices. Its public relations experts call for "freedom and democracy" without a framework of higher values. They fail to comprehend the need for a paradigm of justice and therefore are blind to what concerns most of the people in the world. This failure is the taproot of terrorism.” PeopleWorldNeedsTwoPoliticalValuesPoliticsSidesJusticeEconomyDemocracyFailingEconomicHigherEssentialsConcernClaimsRelationBlindInjusticeTerrorismContraryMonstersDespiteIdeologyPreservesExpertsLiberalismStatus QuoCoinsMonopolyConservatismFrameworkParadigmTwo SidesPublic RelationsTwo Heads Author:Robert Dickson Crane

“Concern for the fate of the great rivers of the earth must lead us to reflect soberly on the model of development which our society is pursuing.

“Giving is a miracle that can transform the heaviest of hearts. Two people, who moments before lived in separate worlds of private concerns, suddenly meet each other over a simple act of sharing. The world expands, a moment of goodness is created, and something new comes into being where before there was nothing... But true giving is not an economic exchange; it is a generative act. It does not subtract from what we have; it multiplies the effect we can have in the world.” PeopleWorldGivingHeartDoeTwoMomentsSimpleEconomicEffectsGoodnessConcernMiracleSomething New Author:Kent Nerburn
