WOULD YOU RATHER KILL A COW OR A CARROT?
Would you kill a chicken, a lamb, a sheep, a goat, a pig or a cow with you bare hands? Probably not. So why do you think it’s OK for someone else to kill animals for you? Just so you can have another hot dog or cheeseburger? Killing a carrot is a lot easier. And carrots are easier to butcher because there don’t have nearly as much blood and guts and shit and skin and eyeballs and brains and all the nasty, bad-smelling parts that you have to clean up when you kill animals.

VERMEER ON iTUNES
http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/vermeer/id443800993?mt=11#
“Vermeer: Portraits of A Lifetime” is a revolutionary re-examination of the mystique and mythology surrounding the 17th Century Dutch Master painter, Johannes Vermeer. For the first time in over 300 years names of people who posed for his paintings are identified. An unknown portrait of Vermeer, painted by his friend, Gerard ter Borch, is exposed. This book is an empathetic retrospective, built on observations that reveal answers to dozens of speculations about his paintings, his wife, his daughters, and contemporaries who were the subjects of his art, and with whom he shared his brief life in Delft.

The Oz Factors: a book review
The following is a book review of “
The Oz Factors
” posted on Amazon.com by Robert W. Johnson in November 9, 2009“The purpose of this book is to give a reader some guidelines in a quest to solve the mysteries of life. In my opinion, it serves that purpose well. Each of the 12 Oz factors represents a “common denominator of Western Logic which prevents observation, understanding, and the attainment of workable solutions to the problems of human origin and existence.” Further, the author states, “The allegorical story of The Wizard of Oz and its timeless characters is an appropriate vehicle through which to learn more about the mysteries of life.” If you read the book, I think you will agree. The learning of philosophical principles is thereby made not only easier, but actually delightful.
Here are a few of the Oz factors, to whet your appetite for the others:
Missing Information: Most real thinkers would agree that a valid concept of any subject that all information pertinent to it be available. But, study of almost any subject reveals not only that there are missing pieces to the puzzle, but that often the pieces are missing because vested interests (another Oz factor) have deliberately withheld them from the public.
Assumptions: Every theory presented by so-called authorities in science, religion, politics, etc contains one or more assumptions. If the assumption is false, the theory crashes. And so we suspect that the reason why assumptions are rarely listed is that their presence would expose the weaknesses in the view being advanced.
Source of Information: Many sources of information like to “play God”, promoting unquestioning belief in their views. Example from Science: “We’re smart and you’re not, so just accept what we say.” Example from Religion: “We’re holy and you’re not, so just accept what we say.” They need to be told, “Curb your dogma!”
False Information: Investigation shows that many sources deliberately put out false information, for reasons related to the benefit of the organization they support. To quote the author: “Lies replace the truth when a vested interest is being served.”
I could go on with praises for this book, but space won’t permit it. Bottom line: If you want to be a clearer thinker and a more successful searcher for truth, you will do well to read this book.”
