[Sosfbay-discuss] Walking the Talk

[Roy]

Willits CA is trying to create a Local economy. Quite interesting. There's 
a 3 day symposium the beginning of next month. They've already passed a 
resolution to green their city hall and are creating gardens.

Europe is also pushing SLOW cities.

"Humans who enslave, castrate, experiment on and fillet other animals have 
had an understandable penchant for pretending animals do not feel pain. A 
sharp distinction between humans and 'animals' is essential if we are to 
bend them to our will, wear them, eat them-without any disquieting tinges 
of guilt or regret. It is unseemly of us, who often behave so unfeelingly 
toward other animals, to contend that only humans can suffer. The behavior 
of other animals renders such pretensions specious. They are just to much 
like us. "
