People apparently boycotting Whole Foods because the CEO said people don’t have an intrinsic right to health care.
So they are using a free market tactic to oppose free market views.
This guy also donates $1 million a year to animal welfare… something most left-leaning people consider important… amongst other chairities. That doesn’t matter, because if he [...]

Orwell Rolls In His Grave

Posted by: Jessen on: August 1, 2009

I thought this would be an Alan Jones conspiracy type documentary, so I just played it in the background while I drew a picture, not really paying any attention. I really started listening when I heard a guy ranting about how anthropologists in the future will be absolutely stunned by how primitive we are.

“Crips, Bloods, LAPD, Los Angeles Sheriffs are all the same, you can’t stop a gang with a gang.“

Posted by: Jessen on: July 28, 2009

Transgender (pronounced /trænzˈdʒɛndər/, from (Latin) derivatives [trans <L, combination form meaning across, beyond, through] and [gender <ME <MF gendre, genre <L gener- meaning kind or [...]

Billion Dollar Burgers

Posted by: Jessen on: May 30, 2009

It is commonly thought that if you are vegan or vegetarian, you do not value human life or you value animals above humans. This may be true for some, but not for me. I am vegetarian because I value human life.
Animals aren’t the only ones who suffer horrendous conditions inside factory farms and slaughterhouses, the [...]
