Jim,
How arbitrary are the accepted and contradictory values in this Culture of Make-Believe...
As an animal activist, I've had people tell me ad nauseum that I should be putting my efforts towards better, more worthy causes (ie causes involving humans). The most ironic example was when I was on an anti-fur protest in front of a Neiman Marcus store...men and women spending their Saturday mornings shopping in a luxury store were telling me and my fellow activists that we should not be wasting our time!
It's OK for the reasons we are drawn to one cause or another to be arbitrary, but it is not OK for them to be contradictory.
The rich particularities of our lives are our own, and follow from everything we are, everywhere we've been.
It is beautiful, and even logical, that in your life with your particular tapestry of experiences, you are working for the buffalo.
You rock in ways big and small, but always inspiring.
Love
Me

About Me
- Jim Macdonald
- Hi, my name is Jim Macdonald, and I have an odd assortment of interests. In no particular order, I love Yellowstone, I am an anti-authoritarian activist and organizer, and I have a background in philosophy, having taught at the college level. My blog has a lot more links to my writing and my other Web sites. In Jim's Eclectic World, I try to give a holistic view of my many interests. Often, all three passions show themselves interweaving in the very same blog. Anyhow, I think it's a little different. But, that's me. I'm not so much out there, but taken together, I'm a little unusual.
