If you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know each other. If you do not talk to them you will not know them and what you do not know, you will fear. What one fears, one destroys. | |
― Chief Dan George | |
Animals are my friends… and I don’t eat my friends. | |

A Caution To The 99% About The Mid-Terms…
Posted in Philosophy, Politics, Quotes, tagged 2022 Mid-Term Elections, George Bernard Shaw, Philosophy, Politics, Quotes on August 13, 2022| 2 Comments »
Take care to get what you like or you will be forced to like what you get. | |
— George Bernard Shaw | |
[To all you Independents and “conservative” Democrats who want to send a “message” to President Biden by voting for Republicans in the November mid-terms, remember in doing so, you are voting against supporting the middle-class worker, against voting rights, against national health care, against personal privacy and against reducing climate change. If you are “okay” with the Republican stand on all of those issues / positions – fine. Vote your conscious. Otherwise, I suggest you find and support EVERY Democrat at your local, state and national level – and vote for them. Elections have consequences. — kmab] | |
