You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. - Buckminster Fuller
Who I'd like to meet: Everyone who understands that unless we work together to create new land, money and media systems we'll remain slaves forever.

Eat your meat? Pretty disgusting post Josef. You assume an air of intelligence though lacking in knowledge of how much land is needed to raise animals, the pollution involved, the water usage, giving no regard for the captivity of animals, and the abuse relationships within species, like a mother to its children and having no idea about the stimulation of demand for a product already very much in demand that propagates the most disgusting abuses for fleeting taste sensations. It is tragic that you manage to read this book but choose to ignore all the scientific facts behind the realities I've presented to you. That you would post on my page without first talking to me is pretty shoddy of you if I were to regard you as a friend. Shameful really. There are many vegans living very full, youthful lives. You know they exist, you went to the London vegan festival, but you never had the capacity to try it. Veganism today remains the best solution to many of the worlds problems including loss of land, deforestation of the rainforest, the release of greenhouse gases and global warming, land and water pollution and world hunger. You being 'so well read', how do you not know all this? I know you want to do good in this world, so more research for you, please.
Check out my new video for the single 'Slow Me Down', it's pretty different from your usual 'rap vid', as I try not to take myself too seriously! Hope you enjoy the mutiple costumes, this vid was a bag a fun to make!
