Hmmm
So my posts have been kind of heavy in the past couple of weeks. I know this isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I feel like my sense of humor is not as easily accessible as it used to be.
I have some ideas for new posts in the works. I am really reading up on First Amendment Rights and how it relates to ideas like direct action and property destruction. I am deeply engrossed in Terrorists or Freedom Fighters ( by Steven Best and Anthony J. Nocella). It is a great read.
I have also been looking and and reading a lot of the documentation from the SHAC7 case as well as other "eco-terrorist" cases. It is so funny to me (and Bob and Jenna point this out nicely in Vegan Freak) how on one hand vegans are painted as free loving hippies. In fact a good friend of ours just called me a hippy on the Fourth of July. I almost took him out. Any way, on the other hand we are radical terrorists. I guess people just need to use the label that works for them at that moment.

hahahaha, i love that shirt. And very interesting your point about "whatever label fits." Ain't that the truth?
GBV, thank you so very much for your thoughtfulness to Mattie (AND me!) in your note on my blog. She's had a hard few weeks but i think she's comin' around.
We felt the boxer kisses. THANK YOU!
And i know you have a great sense of humour... and sense of right vs. wrong... and sense of self. But it's cool to be reminded.
Live laugh love...
Too bad we have to label people. I was just mentioning on another blog that I just can't put a title on myself.
Do you think that people will ever be able to see outside the damn box?
