Did you know that some vegans do not eat honey? They have several reasons for this:

· Some bees are inadvertently killed by the breeding and harvesting practices of beekeepers

· Kept bees are tantamount to at best indentured servants and at worst slaves

· The natural cycle of bee proliferation is effected by removal of honey from the hive and the process of natural selection is distorted

· Taking the honey from the bees is stealing

Gentle readers, some of you will dismiss this as balderdash without giving it a second glance. I ask you to bear with me.

There are two schools of divergent thought that pertain to animals and their byproducts, whether the byproduct is productivity and product or entrails. The omnivores of our species tend to take the position that we have dominion over the animals. This position is typically arrived at via religious belief or simple belief in the food chain. Herbivores whether they site religious or philosophical reasons tend to take the position that animals are “people” too. (Sort of)

Whether you agree or you disagree with the vegan perspective on this subject, you must give them credit for being willing to consider the notion at all. It is easy to eat something that you are certain doesn’t feel, doesn’t think and generally just doesn’t matter. People use essentially the same set of characteristics to justify eating animals and the fruits of their labor, which people use to dismiss other people.

The object of objectification is thought of as “the other” and they are not like me. I have emotions and thoughts; they are valid. “The other” is unable to process information like I do and this is why their thoughts don’t count or count less than mine do. Evidence of this diminished capacity is in the way that they live. They do not live like I do. If they thought like me, then, they would live like me instead of like thoughtless animals; they way that they live. They smell different than me. They smell different than I do because they lack self-awareness. If they had self-awareness, they would care for their bodies they way I care for mine. They do not and they are, therefore, not self-aware. They do not have real feelings like I do. If they had feelings that were valid, like mine, they would behave as I do. They do not behave as I do, therefore, they do not have valid feelings. I am superior; therefore, I have dominion over the inferior, the addled and the weak.

In short, (I know it’s a little late for that) should you come upon a situation where you happen to be superior, take just a moment to consider “the other” and remember that at that very moment, to someone somewhere, you are “the other” to.

PORTLAND, Maine (Reuters) - Maine's Republican presidential caucuses look like a two-man race between Mitt Romney, the party's current front-runner, and libertarian Ron Paul in a small-state contest that has taken on new importance for Romney after his losses in three states this week.

1. Local Government Apathy - An International Problem
Copyright 2006 Al Arnold Local government apathy is not just a problem in the USA. It is an international problem. A Google of 'local political apathy' proves that very quickly. The problem has also been with us for some time. In 1987 Mayor Ken Livingstone of London wrote a book, 'If Voting Changed Anything, They'D Abolish It.'

June 23rd, the Supreme Court crossed the line. An Associated Press story headline read: 'The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that local governments may seize people’s homes and businesses — even against their will — for private economic development.' Please read this, because this decision will set a precedent to usurpe your rights as a property owner. In my opinion, this is completely unconstitutional.
