In 1969, at the height of the Vietnam War, John Lennon and Yoko Ono had a billboard placed in Times Square. It read:
“WAR IS OVER!
If you want it
Happy Christmas from John and Yoko.”
I propose the following:
That we flood the world with a message; that we create a virtual billboard:
THE WORLD IS VEGAN! If you want it.
Send this message on all your social message boards and ask your friends to send it on theirs. Text your friends and ask them to text their friends. Add this message to your signature line on your emails. Let’s start a friendly wave of creative, nonviolent vegan education.
Forty years after John and Yoko made the simple statement that peace and an end to the Vietnam War was ours if only we wanted it, let us have an electronic billboard that will not be just in Times Square but all over the world! Let us spread the message that nonviolence against our nonhuman brothers and sisters is possible—if we want it.
I will do a podcast on this in the next day or so.
Please go vegan. It’s incredibly easy to do. It is the best thing for you and for the planet. And, most importantly, it is the morally right thing to do. We cannot justify killing nonhumans for our trivial purposes, no matter how “humane” our acts of injustice are.
A few days ago, I, a Canadian, was asked by my friend Candace, an American, what I thought of President Obama. My answer was, "He is infinitely better than Bush, but likely not good enough to save the world." This had led to her new question: "Why does saving the world fall on America's shoulders?" And here is my long standing answer:
1. America has always prided itself to be "the most powerful nation in the world", so use this power for the common good. Follow America's own saying, "With the power comes the responsibility."
3. On a per-capita basis, Americans, along with Canadians, are the most rampant consumers of Earth's finite and dwindling resources today, while the average Chinese consumes less than 10% of what an average America/Canadian does; Americans and Canadians, about time to voluntarily cut back!...

I listened carefully around me. I heard a howl, From a she-wolf, I know what she said. I understand what she's telling me. She told me, "No matter how far away you are. Your family misses you and loves. Don't forget that. Little one on the mountain, Don't forget this please." From then on, Even though I'm far away, I know you miss me. Have a very beautiful day!
Sending all peace,love and respect always! Love always

Thank you so much for doing everything you can to try and help him in this time of crisis, this will never be forgotten!

The MEANING OF LIFE according to Anthony Marr. His best of 2009 to you.
11 minute version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTkbLeabfRA
When Anthony Marr was 33, he went camping solo in Africa for two months. What began as an escape from life became a journey of deep discovery. He returned to Canada with a new model of the Universe he calls the Omniscientific Cosmology, which one scholar has coined the “Holy Grail of scientific philosophy.” “Anthony Marr’s work is formidable,” UC Berkeley anthropology professor Tim White. “A beautiful synthesis,” Stanford astrophysicist Dr. Vahe Petrosian. “An extraordinary intellectual undertaking,” UC Berkeley paleontologist Dr. Carole Hickman. “Extremely intriguing and provocative,” Stanford philosophy professor John Dupre. “An immensely logical construct… with great potential for lessening the conflicts in a troubled world,” Stanford geology professor W.R. Evitt. “A profound contribution… implications of great depth and breadth for the future course of human actions… too important to ignore,” Dr. William H. Kimbel, President, Institute of Human Origins, Berkeley. “There is simply no modern parallel for his achievement,” UBC physical anthropology professor Braxton Alfred. See for yourself what this fuzz is all about!

If solo, it'd be by car: http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x70/AnthonyMarr/DSC09716-2.jpg
If accompanied (anyone with a bike and an adventurous spirit out there?), it'd be by motorcycle: http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x70/AnthonyMarr/DSC013525070.jpg
Either way, it will be for the animals, our children and the planet. Here is the itinerary. Could anyone organize an event and/or make a donation and/or offer Anthony a place to stay?

Of course that mini-Harley (not mine really) barely sips gas, but even my Kawasaki Ninja ZZR, capable of 175 kph and 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds, gives 80+ mpg hwy. This is about as green a personal vehicle as one can find capable of long distance travel, short of a full electric vehicle with a range of 250 miles per charge like the Tesla. But then, the Tesla costs $100,000, whereas the Ninja cost me barely $3000 with only 2,000 mi. on the odometer. And even if I had a full electric vehicle, as long as the electricity comes from coal, it's just like burning gas. By the way, the Ninja 250 is so popular with women it has the nickname of "Ninjette" (see www.Ninjette.org).
Regardless of gender, I strongly advise you to try out motorcycling as a means of transportation. Of course, the rider should be vegetarian if not vegan, to cut methane emissions from the animal industries. A vegan driving a Hummer emits less greenhouse gasses than a meat-eater riding a bicycle! Besides, short of flying, motorcycling is about as much fun as fun can get!
Despite there being a ban on commercial whaling, Right now the Japanese whaling fleet are in the southern ocean whale sanctuary, where they plan on slaughtering 935 minke and 50 endangered fin whales, Goverments of the world are not doing enough if anything to stop this, I urge people to boycott Japan and please sign petitions and write to Japanese embassies around the world to put pressure on the Japanese Govt, as well as your own govt. Whaling is totally unnecessary, barbaric and cruel, whaling needs to end today!!
The card I send to you this year Will not be thoughts of Christmas cheer Or Santa riding in a sleigh With loads of gifts to come your way.
A starving dog, a homeless cat, A beaver lying in a trap, A sparrow punctured in the eyes To win some kid a science prize, A horse that's trampled in a ditch To make a movie baron rich, A tiny baby left alone, Old folks forgotten in a home.
If you believe in God at all, Then love His creatures, great and small, And help in any way you can A suffering beast or bird or man. If you believe these things are wrong Then let this be your Christmas song And raise your voice with all your might, For only you can make them right.
So good to hear from you. Hope you and yours are doing good and enjoying life. It's so kool what you do. I am honored to be your friend. Have a good Christmas ya hear!
Urban deer massacre ("culling"), combined with unadulterated fun-killing (bow-hunting), is a national disgrace. Through my last 6 Compassion for Animals Road Expeditions (CARE-1 - CARE-6, 2003-2008, each covering 25-42 states over 3-7 months), I have worked with activists in no less than 25 states whose by-and-large pro-culling and pro-hunting officials discharge their "deer management" duties by means of bullets and arrows.
The current hottest battle in the "Deer War" is at the Shawnee Mission Park, Kansas City, which local activists have dubbed "Death Park". There were supposedly some 575 deer living in the 3.7 sq.mi. urban park. Local officials estimate the maximum deer population density to be 50 per sq.mi., which produces the maximum allowable total number of 185 in the park. Up to December 9, 313 deer had been culled by "Dr. Death" Anthony DeNicola. This yields a remaining population of about 260, about 75 higher than the limit of 185, and 75 is about what the Park Board has allocated to the bow-hunters, 15 of whom have been granted permits to do the dirty deed, with pleasure of course...
