the oregonian newspaper called to ask me what the reaction was within the vegetarian community about mad cow disease.
since i never really leave my house and the only community i engage in is on this site in the veggie group, i just went ahead and spoke confidently as if that was the entire vegetarian world's view.
"we hope all you meatmouths get sick and die of brain wasting disease. we've all been waiting for this moment to come. much as you've always suspected about us."
actually, i told them i hoped people would finally have to acknowledge the meat industries bullshit as it takes mad cow arriving in the u.s. for people to take notice of what they eat.
i also believe, in a rant, i said "if you're so fucking greedy you make cows into cannibals, mother nature is going to kick you in the nuts." i'm guessing that one won't see print.

do you talk to Rose or stop by the divine cafe often? what is it you do that the oregonian views you as an authority?
the newsstand right down the street from me had your first issue, but seeing as how i'm unemployed i had to read what i could standing at the newsstand. i love it when people can eek out a little dough without working for the man.
LA in the winter is great. sunny and somewhat warm. it's a bit too smoggy in the hot months, but it's hard to top a Portland summer. The food is excellent. lots and lots of vegan options. some of them even deliver! and all of the ethnicities (sp?) means lots of kick ass african and indian food. now i just need to hunt down the middle eastern places. i miss Nicholas' over on Grand (or is it MLK?) soooo much.
have you ever seen the movie "Elephant Parts"? your listed occupation made me think of it. if not, in it there's a vegetarian big game hunter who goes into a supermarket with a shotgun and starts blowing away lettuce and tomatoes and such...
