I just wanted to ask if you could please note that the design you posted is from our site and that a) it was a t-shirt design we used as a fundraiser for Ruby Ranch Pig Sanctuary north of Guelph, On. It raised $500 for the Sanctuary! b) that our site is a play on the use of the term and all that comes with it; the perceived militance of vegans and the way omnivores use that reflect investigating their own complicity and also the way in which vegans themselves are so intent on personal purity and self and community policing. Subversive humor.

The only police-type vegan I know is also a psychopath, and he'd be a psychopath who ate meat if he weren't vegan. <br />Anyway:<br />We're all so implicated, caught, framed, constituted, embroiled --that the only complete escape would be some kind of monastic life, but I guess even then, any running water at the abbey would be linked to the State, and you'd be back where you started. So, the only way through is to be good and compassionate and forgiving and self-forgiving.<br />I'm glad I wrote that; it helps with the rage over all the fires. <br />We have to reconstitute ourselves, to be intersubjective with the earth and its inhabitants. Right now, we carve ourselves apart from it all. We need to reenter. I think it's possible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
