My Civilization’s Dying

When I was a teen/tween, music kept me alive and sane. One of my favorite bands was the Zero Boys. This song crystallizes that moment in time:

The really fucked up thing about the song is that it could be written today:

Civilization’s dying
And no one’s realizing
The position of hate stuck inside the gun

Civilization’s crying
And I won’t try to deny it
We got a problem son,
Something’s gotta be done

With the Pope
And the president
And the big rock star who made a lot of money
All got one thing in common
They know it ain’t no fun to get shot with a gun

Civilization’s dying
And no one’s realizing
The position of hate stuck inside the gun

Civilization’s crying
And I won’t try to deny it
We got a problem son,
Something’s gotta be done

Civilization’s dying
And no one’s realizing
The position of hate stuck inside the gun

Civilization’s crying
And I won’t try to deny it
We got a problem son,
Something’s gotta be done

With the Pope, and the president, and the big rock star who made a lot of money
Made a lot of money, made a lot of money, made a lot of money
Yeah!

I get to feeling like shit, like we’re stuck in this fucking negative loop of corruption, stupidity, and hatred. And then…

I watch this:

I need to close my Facebook account, because I’ll never have another friend add as funny as this:

They poke fun of everyone!

DOGMEAT

I just received this as SPAM in my mailbox:

“Paralyzed under a crush of bodies. Fighting for breath in the stifling heat. Mouths cinched tight by plastic rope.

These horrifying images greeted our investigators when we rescued nearly 100 dogs bound for the dog meat trade in the Philippines. The dogs had been piled on top of each other in a small cage hidden in the back of a truck. Watch our exclusive video of the seizure now, and then take action to help end such terrible cruelty.

These animals were victims of the dog meat trade — a trade banned by law in 1998 but still active in certain regions of the country due to lenient fines and other light penalties.

Our team, comprised of police, volunteers from local animal protection groups, and Humane Society International staff, worked for hours to pull these dogs from the truck. Tragically, a few had already perished, smothered and over-heated. The team moved the survivors to shelters in and around Manila.

Thankfully, a new law passed this year finally gave police the tools they need to stop this cruel trade for good. But we need your help to make this law work. Please watch our video; then ask Philippines President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to increase funding and training for enforcement of this new law.

The large majority of Filipinos do not condone the consumption of dog meat. While some bill it as a “cultural practice,” the commercial trade is anything but. Local organizations successfully lobbied to strengthen the laws against it, but they are looking to us to help bring awareness to this problem and end it for good.

The dogs used in the trade are rounded up in the streets, stolen, or even bought from their unknowing owners for a paltry sum. All the dogs pulled off that truck were friendly, wagging their tails. Even after their experience, they still trusted us. They still hoped for a pat on the head, a word of kindness, someone to care.

Let these dogs know there is still hope. Help us stop the illegal dog meat trade.

Thank you for all that you do to help animals.

Sincerely,

Wayne Pacelle
President & CEO
The Humane Society of the United States”

Am I the only one that finds this email mildly ironic, coming from a society that euthanizes millions of animals a year? So it’s okay to kill them, just don’t let them suffer?

I asked a friend, “what if we did that with our homeless?” She replied, “Isn’t that part of Rudy Giuliani’s platform?”

Really, what’s the difference between eating a dog, cow, or chicken? They are all life, no? The difference is one of culture.

I have an idea! Maybe the Humane Society of America could sell the euthanized animals to the Philippines! It’s a win-win!

Unless you’re a dog.

I’m Kinda Pregnant!

Ever been complimented and offended at the same time?

I hadn’t, until today…

A woman I didn’t know asked me:

“So when are you due?”

As in pregnant!
