In quest for truth, I discover lies. In hunt for freedom, I find myself. In study of rulers, I evolve anarchist. In rage for equality, I become vegan. Left or Right The political right classifies vegans as liberals and anarchists as left-leaning brats who can’t have their way; shallow notions, these. Rights and lefts are […]

Unlearn and Disengage
The adage echoes The adage echoes through existence, telling we learned something every day whether accidental or intentional and spoken as a benefit in our development. But, it is a self-defeating course to set aside our rebellious instincts and intuitions in favor of the poisonous proclamations vomited from the mouths of authoritarians and other self-serving […]
Why We Write
Why We Write We write because we dream. We write to express grand concepts and share our schemes. We write to ease the pressure of frustration, the burdens of anxiety, the strains of society. We write because we’re happy or sad, joyful or mournful. In love or lust. We write to protest or to kick […]

The Four Stages of Cruelty
The Four Stages of Cruelty The Four Stages of Cruelty as depicted in 1751 by William Hogarth begins with the torture of a dog as a child. Then the series progresses to beating a horse, to robbery, seduction, and murder in the final Cruelty to Perfection. Yes, early animal abuse too often leads to murder […]
Christmas
So today is Christmas, the annual hypocritical. One of many repeating absurdities of tradition, culture, religion, and other self-exalting practices. Pray tell, ye of good cheer! Hast thou ancestral honorifics bettered compassion throughout the eons of unwavering adherence? Does’t the town-crier proclaim peace and goodwill throughout the realm? While veganism poses the most significant revolutionary era towards […]
20,000 Miles
In retaliation to the attacks against vegans in social networks across the globe and in face-to-face confrontations. Vegans. Are we perfect? No. But, we are better than you. Our understanding spans light-years beyond that of the self-absorbed masses. We have respect for life that no religious/spiritual pretense dare compare. A working vision for the future […]
This is War
This is war. I’ve championed peace and struggled against undercurrents for far too long when all along war raced torrents through my veins. Like screeching banshees clawing their way from Hade’s bowels, I cannot restrain my lust for war any longer. War has proved the normality of our species and served many, many faithfully well; […]
Simulation Hypothesis
Of all things in the mighty universe, the planets, moons, stars, and unfathomed space. And so many life forms that came to be: in the forest, hills, plains, mountains, and sea. Of all inanimate objects there are, why did I become this man that I am? A curse, a blessing, my soul’s regressing. Oh, why […]
Lamentations of a Veganarchist
THE ANARCHIST The anarchist worth their salt must, by virtue of justice, be vegan. THE ENVIRONMENTALIST The environmentalist worthy their goal must, by necessity, be vegan. THE ROAD TO SLAUGHTER Few know the melancholy, the utter sorrow seething from deep within the souls of compassion, seeing our comrades, their noses pressed hard against the slats […]
Killing, Get It?
Fellow earthlings hang. Excited hearts now pump faintly their last drops of life as blood flows a river inside the abattoir. White-robed overlords oversee with heartless glee the demand the people place upon them. Killing. It’s what humans do. I get it, now. The government gets it. Man, do they ever. Hunters, anglers, trappers all get it, and […]
Comparing Us to Animals?
Us and Them, Let’s See Who hasn’t heard numerous times before that, “You can’t compare humans to animals. That’s ridiculous.” For example, you can’t compare the Jewish Holocaust with the animal holocaust or black slavery to the slavery of animals. Or, simply human suffering to animal suffering. I agree, it’s preposterous. It’s belittling. No valid […]
Animal Welfare
Animal Welfare, the Diabolical White Angel Animal Welfare, is not Animal Rights. There is a chasm between the two. Unbridgeable by any thinking person. One is acceptable cruelty; the other is unacceptable slavery. Welfare is not Rights, no matter how you slice them. Animal Welfarist, however, would have you believe animals gleefully wander into those peacefully […]
Changed
They tell me I’ve changed, but they don’t know the half. They say I’ve lost my mind, but it was never mine to begin. —At an art fair in Southern Indiana artists peddle their overpriced wares, nice as they are, to the interested disinterested masses who will go home carrying mostly what they came with. There’s […]
At The Moment
At the Moment At the moment, there’s a bullet spiraling through the air with someone’s name on it, in a war zone, in the back alleys of Chicago; it’s all the same. There’s a pig in a slaughterhouse scared shitless knowing she’s about to lose her life, silenced only by a razor-sharp knife. There’s a […]
