Take a look at this brief article challenging the claim, advanced by animal rights advocates, that a vegan diet is more humane than one that includes animal products. Though the argument is interesting, it is deeply flawed. I have a paper to write by about 3 or 4 pm, and so this won't be a long reply, but two points stand out:

Also, to respond more substantively to Chris' reply to my argument concerning our movie-watching regime:
I find it difficult to believe that Chris, as he implies in a recent comment on this blog, is sufficiently penurious as to regard occasional rental fees tantamount to financial suicide.

However, it ought to piss you off that NYC police's blocklong pens prevented tens of thousands of people, many having travelled from other states, from swelling the ranks of the the already teeming, 100-400,000-person-strong horde of non-violent protestors that were permitted to amass yesterday in New York, NY.

In the event that the movie of the designated selecter's choice is not available at Clemons, the costs of procuring the video will be borne equally by both viewers.

As you can see, Bush makes the following declaration: "In our time, respect for the right to life calls us to defend the sick and the dying, persons with disabilities and birth defects, and all who are weak and vulnerable. And this self-evident truth calls us to value and to protect the lives of innocent children waiting to be born."

Its author's principled refusal to sloppily overdraw points and distract the reader with effusive, rhetorical pizazz is made evident from the outset, beginning with its subdued and unobtrusive title. I'm being ironic.

Words cannot express my gratitude. Someone must have told him about my enduring Cyndi Lauper crush. It is a Cyndi Lauper compact disc entitled "Feels like Christmas," and boy does it ever.

Bryan may have permanantly deleted all but the most recent of his admittedly unenlivening blog posts. Though they are vapid and sleep-inducing, they're his own, and I often tearfully revisit them in the dark, alone, while recalling the tender youth of our blog careers.

laid aside and left behind

I rose at the crack of 2 p.m., much to my disappointment. However, it may have been worth it only as I gained, in exchange for today's late start, the satisfaction of having finished J.M.

It says, "Attend ye hither, and know me better man." Can you guess what Dickens book I've just cleverly referred to?

This is Christian Golden's blog webpage. There are some ground rules, and you would do well to acquaint yourself with them if you wish to be welcome here. It would be very difficult, bordering on impossible, in fact, for me to enforce them, and so I suppose that if you don't abide by them you do so with impunity.
