On Vegetarianism and Individual Liberties

Though I don't know how they calculate this, PETA has a carbon calculator that estimates the amount of CO2 you reduce by not eating meat (or eating less meat).

Although I generally support PETA's campaign for the ethical treatment of animals, they have an informative striptease quiz that some may find controversial. Coincidentally, this is what John Stuart Mill proposed. There is a perpetuating tension between majority rule and minority liberties. Mill believes that it is important for controversial issues to arise. He also believes that it is crucial for your opinions to be questioned in order for society to progress. Your arguments will only be strengthened by finding those with conflicting opinions. However, since this blog is for the social, political, and economical justice and equality for all, situations such as this will be noted because in the pursuit of a democracy, we will face the conflicting need for equality and for liberty.

If you get a chance, see the documentary "The U.S. vs John Lennon" and listen to "Give Peace a Chance," the anthem of the anti-Vietnam-war movement. Lennon's idea of a free concert tour following Nixon's campaign trail around the U.S. is brilliant! I know Move On Political Action did a Vote for Change concert tour in 2004, but will there be one for this year's election? The people that do vote make up half of the U.S. Of those that voted in the last presidential election back in 2004, only 8% (I really hope this is not the case!) were of the 18-24 year-old demographic.

We should organize a FREE Vote for Change concert tour with all the political artists especially to motivate this demographic! Better yet, (well if the artists were heavily funded) we should have a Give Peace A Chance concert tour. Stars forbid should the war in Iraq spread to the war in Iran, and war on Russia.. It is not a bleak, hopeless future! We can change the world, together!
