  we already are

  People are already learning to eat in the lab.  The essential ingredient in animal is (cyano)cobalamin, vitamin B-12.  It is now synthesized in the laboratory, allowing vegetarians the freedom of not eating liver.

  I have written repeatedly, and ask your help, to various aquatic groups about synthesizing those two essential omega-3 fatty acids, thus alleviating the need to eat fish on a regular basis.

  I have been eating flexitarian since 1992, my goal is living on six pounds of meat a year.

  We need to tell everyone that eating meat consumes massive petroleum, water and land, we are destroying rainforests to grow crops to fatten cattle.

  trust our own government

  We know we cannot trust our own government.

  And this is a good thing!  We are better off if our government fears us than if we fear our government.

  When I ran for Congress in Utah, 1st. district, 2002, a state delegate called me about the Second Amendment.  He told me the purpose of the amendment was that the Founding Fathers wanted to insure the populace would not be subservient.

  When we want to take on the right-wingers, we need to beat them at their own game.  Liberals oppose ownership of guns.  When you think about the CIA spying on Greenpeace and other groups, this might not be smart.  

  If Leftist groups were armed, the CIA would leave them alone.On Security firm spied on green groups, documents show posted 1 year, 6 months ago 1 Response

  stop the madness

  Does anybody listen?

  For years the 'extremists' have been preaching about meat.  Now people are beginning to listen.  I have been eating flexitarian since 1992 - my goal is to eat less than six pounds of meat a  year.

  People are starting to learn that eating meat consumes forty times the fossil fuel.  Are you opposed to the war in Iraq?  Not if you indulge in hamburgers and hot dogs.

  I have a simple solution to meat.  Let the Humane Society sell meat.  That would solve our problems.  On Clinton, Obama questioned on climate change at religion forum posted 1 year, 6 months ago 7 Responses

  China and the Olympics

  Forget about the environment - China does not care about human rights. Last year I sent a letter to His Holiness about asking the Chinese government to play the Tibetan national anthem for the Tibetan athletes.

  His Holiness the Dalai Lama has asked people to boycott the Olympics, and I agree. On China announces plans to modify weather for Olympics posted 1 year, 9 months ago 5 Responses

  the drought in the Southeast

  Give me a break!

  We are responsible for the drought.  How many children do you have?  Do you have more than two by choice?

  How big is your home?  Do you brag about your home? Do you envy having a bigger one?

  I have made the commitment to one child and adoption.  Controlling growth and development is the answer to everything.On Severe drought in U.S. Southeast leaves Atlanta water supply in question posted 2 years ago 5 Responses
