EVERYTHING VEGAN
Asking for our help,
Will we know what they are saying?
When the plants speak to us
In their delicate, beautiful language,
Will we be able to answer them?
When the planet herself
Sings to us in our dreams,
Will we be able to wake ourselves, and act?"

Gary Lawless – Quoted in RADICAL ACCEPTANCE“It all begins with land ownership. It all ends with redesigning land uses and rebuilding most of what we’ve built to date, so destructive are today’s cities and towns. It’s useful to divide possible projects into three categories: small, medium and truly satisfying.
Now on with the lesson.”

The Role of The Native American Indian and Vegetarianism
“Let’s dispel a few myths about the native American Indians.
Popular belief will tell you that the native American Indian was a hunter that primarily lived on meat, this couldn’t be farther from the truth.
Firstly there where hundreds of different tribes that existed all over the Americas, most were cultivators of the land.
I myself have always seemed to have had a deep and spiritual connection with them and their philosophies with mother earth and everything that inhabits it.”
You are looking at an intriguing picture of the Daughter of American Horse. It was taken in 1908 by Edward S. Curtis.
“During the German Nazi regime - would you have been one of the honest and brave people who literally in the face of death let others know about the racist mass murdering that was taking place? Or would you have been someone who went alongwith the socially-accepted wrongs of that period?
During the time of the legal slave-trade - would you have gone along with the socially-accepted practice of legally owning another person? Would you have gone along with those around you or would you have been an abolitionist?
If you lived when women could not vote, would you have been a suffragette campaigning for women’s right to vote? Would you have gone along with the socially accepted sexist custom - or - be a pioneer of a nondiscriminatory way of living?
If you lived then, or now, or at any time in history; you would have lived with socially-accepted speciesism. The unjust practice of exploiting and persecuting other species of animals - is rampant and plagues humanity. What side of history will you be on? I implore you to take the high road and be on the side of Truth and what is ethical, not what is socially-accepted at the time. What is socially-accepted is often morally repugnant and in need of leaders working for the advancement of the human race. We animals (human and nonhuman) are equal in the birth-right not to be enslaved, objectified, and murdered by humans; because humans CAN live vegan. We have no physical requirement of anything derived from harming, using, objectifying, enslaving and violently assaulting other feeling animals. We’re vegan ~ and we’re making history; by being on the right side of a socially-accepted wrong.”
