You're funny veganelder! But of course this is how our "gOd/government" works too! I think of society and how it's represented politically, like a ranting, spoiled child that needs some stern scolding. It's demands are totally out of bounds with what it has privilege to. Yet, bully-brats that they all are, they just manipulate all the rules to serve in their favor. <br /><br />I'm glad to be among those who aren't hesitant in calling the ruse for what it truly is! ;)<br /><br />Good point D.E.M.! It's one thing for someone to be momentarily duped by a flim/flam scam... And anther thing entirely to put your name/reputation on any institution that is clearly a farce! And in the case of rodeos & dairy... The evidence is widely available - If only they opened their eyes a bit. Pathetically sad on who we honor as "heroes". <br />Thanks for your input! ;)<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the "no leather" boot song!<br /><br />And happy too that you gained some insight to "cowboys" via the link. It was sure an eye-opener for me too. I will never feel "un"American again for having my distrusts and condemnation for that "holy" institution. It is exactly fiction as you say!<br /><br />And thank you too for sending me the link to The Cowboys by Merritt Clifton! Wished I would have had it when I initially wrote this post - But for the benefit of those who've never read it - Here's the link now: http://www.sharkonline.org/?P=0000000890<br /><br />Highly recommended - Thanks for sending it my way! ;)<br /><br />Krissa - Thanks for all your good wishes as to the fate of our very "misguided" species. My hopes are just like yours... I implore the gods of reason to somehow make us wake up from our fantasies... They truly are just nightmares for those trapped in our delusions. <br /><br />I know! Cool song! Paul Seymour is a real decent guy... Glad he's taking a stand in his own professional "celeb" way! ;)Bea Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981537551810309024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804054451517691779.post-34112542563408212902011-07-10T04:52:08.688-04:002011-07-10T04:52:08.688-04:00Listening to "My Boots Ain't Made of Leat...Listening to "My Boots Ain't Made of Leather" right now.

You are spot on! Thanks for speaking up and out the way you do. ... I hope somehow, Cheryl Crow reads this. My first inclination was to like her less than I already do for her "help", but I remember that it could have been me at one point, I was very misguided myself. So I hope she reads this....I hope one day humanity's hearts, eyes and minds will open up. And I hope our kind will stop hurting everyone else and destroying everything natural.Krissanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804054451517691779.post-25063522297217159712011-07-09T20:29:07.651-04:002011-07-09T20:29:07.651-04:00Good job creating that unbridgeable contrast betwe...Good job creating that unbridgeable contrast between consistent compassion and convenient compassion, Bea.<br /><br />I won't put myself through the torture of watching the Cheyenne video again (there was a time when I had to see for myself just how bad the SHARK YouTube horror shows were). <br /><br />I enjoyed Paul's song about his non-leather boots. Very clever and sweet.<br /><br />What a wealth of new-to-me information in veganelder's COWS AND "BOYS" blog post! Learning about the TRUE cowboy makes the upcoming National Day of the American Cowboy even more hollow and hypocritical in my eyes. There is nothing authentic in the Hollywood myth -- not even John Wayne's off-screen character. Pure fiction is just that: fictional.CQhttp://www.creaturequotes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804054451517691779.post-84244301774825394522011-07-08T10:24:33.429-04:002011-07-08T10:24:33.429-04:00There are so many stupid celebrities who endorse t...There are so many stupid celebrities who endorse things without researching them. Look at all those "Got Milk?" idiots.

Nothing exists or is significant but our desires for fun and entertainment...and...nothing that we wish for could be anything but good, desirable and 'right'.<br /><br />Oops, it seems that I just wrote the operating policy of the USA.

Or any animals. Rodeos are one of those sad American events that misguided Australians attend with pride and glee - not the best export or import. Ms Crow, can you not see the abuse of rodeos? Can you not see that you are so strongly supporting abuse of those you profess to help? We desperately need a pill that when taken will instantly cure such disconnect. In contrast ...
