What is My Image?

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – November 10, 2004 – As if I don’t have enough to think about during the course of a day, honing in on what my image is has been added to my list.

Animals Are The Victims Of Our Culture Of Cruelty

Animals Are The Victims Of Our Culture Of Cruelty

We Defend Our Positions Even When We Know We’re Wrong

Animals Are The Victims Of Our Culture Of Cruelty – Humans have an unrelenting arrogance about our place in the world – a misguided belief in our superiority and a need to dominate and destroy that is unmatched in any species.
