Beware Of Puppy

0:30-3:17

FAIR USE: CRITICISM – A very good clip from an erratic episode. Leonard Nimoy as Spock, in two words and a mild tone change, says everything that needs to be said in response.

Sometimes the strongest and purest emotions exist in the most unexpected places.

It’s not about being LOUD or silent or anywhere in between, it’s about being real. The first has no intrinsic connection to the second.

Call It

FAIR USE: CRITICISM – Well Done!

“We have here an unusual opportunity to appraise the human mind, or to examine, in Earth terms, the roles of good and evil in a man: his negative side, which you call hostility, lust, violence, and his positive side, which Earth people express as compassion, love, tenderness.

…and what makes one man an exceptional leader? We see indications that it’s his negative side which makes him strong; that his evil side, controlled and disciplined, is vital to his strength.”

How An Omnivore Can Object To The Dog Meat Trade

We didn’t spend tens of thousands of years teaching cows to trust, love, and live reciprocally with us. Dogs ACTIVELY think of themselves as friends to humans, as family to the humans they live with. They have and do perform truly heroic acts and show what can only be described as unconditional love.

Does that make it ok to kill cows? No. But don’t ask “What’s the difference?” unless you think ALL life is worth exactly the same amount. In which case, if you had to choose between saving your ONE child or TWO mosquitoes, logically you’d pick the mosquitoes, right?

“General, you are listening to a *machine*! Do the world a favor and don’t act like one.”

Cows AREN’T sacred, dogs ARE friends.

Ruff!
