I hate to break your poor little heart Caitlin, but it is not to you, I would rather you did not threaten to kiss me on the love seat either. Nor do I want to get naked and dance with you. Drunken kisses between best friends are one thing, but let’s not take this too far. The dogs however, oh, the dogs.

I know this is to me. And I say no, Janine, mostly because I don’t want to get tangled in any sheets with you. I do, however, still love you.

I’m going to tell my kid(s) that the family exchanges gifts on Christmas and leave Santa out of it completely. Don’t ask me how I’m going to explain that Santa isn’t real without ruining the lives of every kid and corresponding parents in the same 2nd/3rd/4th/whatever grade class as my child.

Comment on Hunger, American style. by Blake

the greater majority of the world lives a “carnivorous” life style because that’s the way that
humans have been for 100’s of 1,000’s of etc… etc… years.

We were hunters and gatherers. Then we evolved a bit, but still continued to hunt, and gather.
Now’a days, the desire for meat and the like is so common and almost… Automatic that it’s not really
even looked at as a problem by anyone other than the select few who choose to stop and question it.
Yes… In the wider view of things it is inhumane to raise, slaughter and butcher an animal.
That is, if anything, obvious.

I’m sure if the masses were brought to the slaughter houses and told to hit the switch themselves,
or sling the blade with their own two hands that they’d be listless, and unable to do it.

Am I excusing the act of eating meat by the convenience of the meat packing industry…
Not necessarily, but in a way… Yes.

As is, there’s nothing morally reprehensible about eating a steak. Or enjoying chicken fingers
for lunch.
It’s the barbaric, “human” way of doing things.

If being a vegetarian were easy, tasty and as healthy as just getting your vitamins from meats and the like…
I’m sure more people would do it.
But until lettuce and cabbage start offering up 100 grams of protein, and all the vitamins and minerals
of a piece of fish, or a T-Bone…
I don’t see the greater good of people changing their opinions, or eating habits for that matter.

As for eating humans… Yucky. lol

I didn’t even read the entire entry. I may later, I may not.

The one thing you need to realize, even when that blank slate isn’t processed and put out in the right way
those same parents that are so hungry to see their baby thrive and achieve some of life’s
greater things are still just as happy to see their baby do well in other fields.
God forbid they don’t reach for the stars, parents, for the most part, are still just as happy
so long as their baby is.

Wow…
Very powerful, and playfully sadistic, yet in a beautiful way.

Janine,
You wrote this in a powerful and poignant way that struck me. The first thing that comes to mind is sort of an our-generation “Revolution!” Live life, you’re “okay,” whatever’s bringing you down is only for a moment and you will smile again; the key is to abbreviate feeling low and go straight to the smiling.

… Did you know smiling uses enough muscles in your face to generate enough endorphins to make you happier? Yes, smiling when you feel angry or upset releases endorphins to make you feel better. Do it.
