We have been taught to believe...

A couple of quotes I just came across. Guess which one is working today:

"Do not weep; do not wax indignant. Understand."  
Spinoza

and...

"We have been taught to believe that negative equals realistic and positive equals unrealistic."  Susan Jeffers

2/6/15

Many, extreme technical difficulties is keeping me off the air. Probably some good in this. Anyway, I tried for an hour to set up today's blogtalk episode to no avail. I need new computer equipment and more training.

Here is the text I was going to read.

Oh, and again: The video of the Jordanian pilot being burned alive is an obvious and absurd fake. All other causes and actions notwithstanding, we need to take a closer look at this thing.

The text is from Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, by Barbara Kingsolver:

"I find myself fundamentally allied with a vegetarian position in every way except one: however selectively, I eat meat. I am unimpressed by arguments that condemn animal harvest while ignoring, wholesale, the animal killing that underwrites vegetal foods. Uncountable deaths by pesticide and habitat removal--the beetles and bunnies that die collaterally for our bread and veggie-burgers-- are lives plumb wasted.
