Apparently not Uberer Than You after all

If you want to see what happens when I make a complete hash of communication, refer yesterday’s post.

In the mail today, a great flyer that I’ve seen before but never hung on to. It’s the ‘Alternative Living’ flyer of Master Ching Hai’s God’s Direct Contact spiritual guidance centre. It’s essentially a nice promo about the benefits of vegetarianism, with a list of protein by weight from vege foods and on the flipside a list of vegetarian Nobel Laureates and Scientists.
(You can see a version of the promo here – be patient, the server is slow. If you’re really keen you can download the .pdf and print out your own copy.)
The reason why I love it is the kyoot cartoons of animals speaking to me! There is a chicken with chicks, and it says, We Pray for You! There is a pig and it says, Save our Lives! We Love You. There is a photo of a cow and it says, Thank You. And there is a dolphin too, it says Long Life to You.
Also the line: To stop the continuing gruesome sacrifice of billions of our sweet domestic animals, marine life and feathered friends daily, it’s wise to change to a vegetarian diet for good.
I heart this pamphlet. Although the pig that says it loves me kinda creeps me out.

Reading Fisk’s Great War For Civilization still. Ploughing through the big chapter on Algeria. This is the first chapter I haven’t found myself eager to get back into, and I think it’s because I know absolutely nothing about Algeria – I have no frame of reference at all. (Which is kind of the point of the chapter.) Feeling not at all Fisked out, I should add. Over the half-way mark too!
