you get lumped in to a group????
I was reading about a 57 or 59 year old woman who was arrested for trying lecture on a high school campus about vegan something or another. Apparently her 3rd arrest. I do not know details other than she stongly believes in vegan (was unclear about raw vegan) and global warming and that she has been arrested like three times. The article was not exactly quality work.
Near the bottom of the story they state as a fact that ALL raw vegans believe that eating cooked foods contributes to global warming. (so does going to the bathroom and using tp, but who is counting, really??? not to mention just living in general. ssshhhhh.......next they'll say raw vegans reject the use of tp for the sake of global warming!:cool: And would you stop breathing already???? It's getting warm in here! )
Like raw vegans are unrealistic or something.
Anyway, it is not really a big deal, but it just annoys me because it reminds me of the many raw vegans who have had trouble keeping their kids or whatever because people just do not take time to research or understand. And it is so simple just to lump people together as a group. (i feel soooo profiled!:cool: )
And even outside of raw vegan --- how people are judged. I expect to be tossed in a lake any day now to see if I sink or float. If I sink and drown I am innocent. (oops, sorry, my bad....guess you were innocent) If I float I am guilty and burned at the stake. In so many ways I feel that society as a whole has really not evolved very much past the days of the witch hunts. Media says...the doctor says...fda says......"they" say.....politicians say.......ummm.......show me the proof that you have researched what you are saying to me is my standard answer. Do not believe everything you hear/see/read.
Not sure why I got annoyed because I normally do not, but gee....no one likes to be lumped in liked that. There are examples of radicals in most every group you select...doesn't make us all radical.:( (maybe it is because I was at a certain site to be left unnamed that is totally anti rv and after I emailed the owner my opinion of the so-called "scientific" articles being rubbish w/no emperical data or peer reviewed journals or even citing sources that the site welcome page was changed to reflect opposition to those words and that indeed general every day living can be called a case study and scientific data. Bonehead. Try to get FDA to accept some of that research. They won't even accept tribes or groups that have been isolated for generations as proper research and case study -- unless it is advantageous to them maybe, hah! Nah, not even then, I am just being mean now.) Yeah, I am a pacifist in general, but it must be time to PMS cuz every once in awhile Tigger gets a little fiesty!:o )
(gets off soapbox and drinks anti-pms herbal tea )
btw...I NEED more than four images...........
