The best bloggers on the internet have posted this amazing speech from the most important debate there ever was! I'm not about to pass the opportunity to add it here as well - Especially on this July 4th day which is supposed to commemorate liberty and freedom.
This perceptive and gentle man Phillip Wollen, extends the concept of justice to all beings. And I celebrate his vision!
Full transcript here.
Full debate here.
Now, like everyone I love a good debate when reason and truth get to shine! It's particularly enjoyable too when someone reveals the flaws in the (loser's) arguments. This youtuber does just that in 3 other videos aside from the one below:
It's clear for all to see - This vicious war humans have with other animals is just a struggle like the one fought against British oppression 200+ years ago. And countless other challenges in history. They were tough fights... But they were won! And so will this effort to a more equitable world see victory as well! It's just a matter of persistence, courage and time.
Thanks to all who live in the most efficacious way towards that goal... Towards the fairness of autonomy that all should have!

You write: "And so will this effort to a more equitable world see victory as well! It's just a matter of persistence, courage and time." We're in for the long haul...but the prize is well worth the struggle.
Hi veganelder... I realize I sound unusually optimistic given what we're up against - The real axis of evil.
But now and then there's the glimmer of hope that sound minds like Wollen's, like yours, like others I've met, that renews confidence.
For sure justice is a long challenge ahead! But you know as well as I, that living for anything less than that precious prize, would be a shallow excuse for life... We're just not the kind to settle. Friend - I'm so glad you're not. <3
Rock on, Bea! I hadn't come across Philip Wollen before, but I'm going to spread him around as best I can.
Dittoing one commenter on the second video: "Philip Wollen for president of the ... world."
I would love to send PW's speech to my other nominee for world president: Paul Craig Roberts, who is so tuned in to truth in most walks of life and deserves to know the truth about speciesism, too. Catch PCR's latest attack on deception here (the link is that both blogs see through the fraud that July 4th has become): www.paulcraigroberts.org/2012/07/04/can-americans-escape-deception
P.S. Interesting that a man named Wollen is one of the few Aussies who knows how to properly love his fellow countrymen's prime "product" -- woolen sheep!
I have never seen Philip Wollen before. What an amazing, wonderful video! His passion renews mine. Thank you for posting this video.
Great speech indeed. It's gotten a lot of circulation, so let's hope his ideas take root with a lot of folk! :)
Hi Bea
It is a precious prize indeed. And leaders like Philip Wollen help to illuminate it.
Hey Bea, make sure you check out Be Kind: A Visual History of Humane Education! :)

Hi David! Glad I could repay some of the gifts of knowledge I feel I've gotten when visiting your blog. Great to be so blessed with each other's generosity. <3
Thanks CQ - The more I research and learn of the non-"woolen" Wollen - The more impressed and inspired I am. A really wonderfully rare human indeed!
Hi Debbie - I saw a video with Mr. Wollen a year or so ago... It never really registered what an amazing man he is... He had all the "success" that the rest of the world would envy - Yet chose to lead a more meaningful life beyond the material wealth.
The message and the video is worth posting - I'll do just that in a few...
Thanks for the visit.
Thanks for the link to "be kind" HGV! I absolutely love the information and of course the beautiful vintage graphics! Much, much appreciated!
Hi Harry! You certainly do your part in shining the spot light on truth too! Cut of the same sturdy cloth of integrity I'd say. xox
