damn double post



So someone stole my bicycle tire, and I'm still not over it. I really really wanna fuck up the person who did it but have no way of knowing who it was.

First I would steal their bike, then leave dog shit on their door step, then spread rumors about them liking little boys

you don't steal my bike tire, not fucking cool.



On the brighter side of things, school is well.

my love life non existent, and my stoner habits somewhat suppressed.

Dexter brightens up my week every Sunday

oh and here's an article type thingy that I wrote for class:

Another Reason to go Veg

Be it Vegan or Vegetarian, usually one expects the person making this lifestyle choice to explain their decision by somehow mentioning PETA or animal rights as well as a mention of ethics.

It's a stretch for many to put the ethical treatment of animals as a priority over the self fulfillment of indulging in a sizzling steak or perhaps a filet minon. I mean who blames the meat eaters of this generation. Animals taste good!

But would it still be such a stretch for people to put the welfare of fellow humans as a priority over the sultry pleasure of eating meat? This perhaps heightens the debate.

Consider now the basic concept of the meat industry. Feed animals, or rather in a sense grow animals on a mass economic scale, much as one would grow a crop. Animals, much like corn, rice, and soy beans are a food resource. We live in a world where food is an economic problem, and entire families go hungry every day.

Resources are limited while our wants and needs are unbounded and limitless. Last year, nearly a third of the world's grain went to feeding animals. It takes 8kg of grain just to produce 1kg of beef, and 2kg of feed to produce 1kg of chicken! The question of resource allocation begs some thought as the starving people of the world are no myth and the fattened animals of the meat industry are more real than ever.

So looking at the meat industry, we can proudly say we've found an inefficient yet profitable use of our resources that feeds fewer people but does so in luxury. Don't get me wrong, an in-an-out burger is delicious, as is the tender juicy meat of a filet minon, but is it worth it?

If someone arbitrarily asked "would you rather feed 20 people ore 40 people?" most, we'd hope, would choose to feed 40 people. Unfortunately, society as a whole, on an international scale, has chosen to feed fewer people.

By no means am I blaming individuals for their meat heavy diets as advertising and product promotion has created the wide scale meat industry as a social norm. Following social norms is easy as pie where changing them is a feat comparable to miracles. This isn't reason enough however to say, "well we failed in world economics and it's really just to bad that resources are handled so inefficiently."

Change is possible and perhaps as education improves and luxury wanes people will see the luxury of meat as a small and insignificant sacrifice compared to the general welfare of mankind. One can hope.











K, Midterm today! Wish me luck

Oh yea, rally against prop 8 if you have time!
