Let’s not forget, Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was a Clinton screw-up – as was the ban on HIV/AIDS immigration. Should we give Hillary a shot at either ignoring us or making things worse? Can Obama get his head out of the sand on these issues?
Vegan Activism
More on Veganism from Vegan Outreach:
Nowhere in the Bible does it say that we are required to eat animals. Just because the Bible doesn’t explicitly forbid something doesn’t make it right. For example:
When your brother is reduced to poverty and sells himself to you, you shall not use him to work for you as a slave…. Such slaves as you have, male or female, shall come from the nations round about you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy the children of those who have settled and lodge with you and such of their family as are born in the land. These may become your property, and you may leave them to your sons after you; you may use them as slaves permanently.
Leviticus 25: 39-46
Leviticus, such a contentious, narrowly & overly interpreted text.
