It&#8217;s the &#8216;Alternative Living&#8217; flyer of Master Ching Hai&#8217;s <a href=http:\/\/www.godsdirectcontact.org\/>God&#8217;s Direct Contact<\/a> spiritual guidance centre.  It&#8217;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.<br \/>\n(You can see a version of the promo <a href=http:\/\/al.godsdirectcontact.org\/>here<\/a> &#8211; be patient, the server is slow.  If you&#8217;re really keen you can download the .pdf and print out your own copy.)<br \/>\nThe reason why I love it is the <i>kyoot cartoons<\/i> of animals speaking to me!  There is a chicken with chicks, and it says, <i>We Pray for You<\/i>!  There is a pig and it says, <i>Save our Lives!  We Love You<\/i>.  There is a photo of a cow and it says, <i>Thank You<\/i>.  And there is a dolphin too, it says <i>Long Life to You<\/i>.<br \/>\nAlso the line: <i>To stop the continuing gruesome sacrifice of billions of our sweet domestic animals, marine life and feathered friends daily, it&#8217;s wise to change to a vegetarian diet for good.<\/i><br \/>\nI heart this pamphlet.  Although the pig that says it loves me kinda creeps me out.<br \/>\n&#8212;<br \/>\nReading Fisk&#8217;s <i>Great War For Civilization<\/i> still.  Ploughing through the big chapter on Algeria.  This is the first chapter I haven&#8217;t found myself eager to get back into, and I think it&#8217;s because I know absolutely nothing about Algeria &#8211; 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!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to see what happens when I make a complete hash of communication, refer yesterday&#8217;s post. &#8212; In the mail today, a great flyer that I&#8217;ve seen before but never hung on to.
