I love dogs. And I love cats. And I love horses. And I love cows and pigs and goats and sheep and chickens and ducks and turkeys and catfish and crawfish; so I don't eat them.
Because of Katrina we lost our beautiful dogs, and house, and jobs, and hometown and more... If you've ever wondered what it'd be like to lose pretty much everything you've loved and spent your whole life working for, please see above...
If you've never seen what actually happened to me, my family, my friends, and the rest of New Orleans on August 29, 2005; please look at this...
Je t'aime, Nouvelle Orleans. Toujours.
Cruelty must be whitewashed by a moral excuse, and pretense of reluctance. ~George Bernard Shaw
Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace. ~Albert Schweitzer, The Philosophy of Civilization
At this stage of history, either one of two things is possible: either the general population will take control of its own destiny and will concern itself with community interests, guided by values of solidarity, and sympathy and concern for others; or alternatively, there will be no destiny for anyone to control. — Noam Chomsky
