Eat Chicken Or There Is Something Wrong With You
Yes, havent you heard? According to Australian company Ingham Chicken’s latest ad campain:
“If you don’t like chicken, there is something VERY wrong with you.”
And though I understand that this is supposed to be humorous, the truth of the matter is that the commercial got me outraged.
So outraged, in fact, that it prompted a Video Response:
So yes, Im pissed.
Im pissed off that corporations are now crossing every possible line.
Instead of brainwashing people that there is nothing wrong with brutal animal slaughter, they are now moving on to try and convince us that there is something wrong with us if we are not a part of it.
Fortunately, there is a bright side to this, as one user pointed out on the discussion board for the movie “Earthlings”:
Once again, low ruthless tactics of big business. But I see it as further confirmation of our growing movement. They know there’s something to be afraid of.
Jerusalem Hug Second Time Around: June 24, 2008
When I wrote about last year’s Jerusalem Hug and posted a video about about it, little did I expect the Hug organizers to approach me about making a video promo for tomorrow’s upcoming Hug.
What an honor!
It was such an amazing experience last year that I was excited about having an opportunity to spread the word out to more people. I even volunteered to open a MySpace page for the Hug… (Add us as a friend!!)
So, yes, this amazing event will take place tomorrow, June 24, in Jerusalem. Join thousands of Jews, Muslems, Christians.. (wait, f*ck labels).. PEOPLE.. as we hold hands around the Old City.
It is an event you will never forget, that I can guarantee.
As for the video promo I made, check it out below and let me know what you think:
If You Think Vegetarians are Fanatic, Watch This
Ever since I decided to go vegetarian, I find myself constantly defending my decision to others. The most ridiculous accusation I have gotten are comments like “Just dont become fanatic about it”.
As I mentioned in one of my posts on DareToWish.com, the award-winning documentary “Earthlings” was the inspiration behind my “If Slaughterhouses had Walls” t-shirt.
The following video is a must-see for those people out there who think that the vegetarians among us are the “fanatics”..
Evolution Observed and Confirmed in Lab Conditions
If you have any nervous creationist types in the vicinity, you might want to make a scene so they see this on your computer screen:
A major evolutionary innovation has unfurled right in front of researchers’ eyes. It’s the first time evolution has been caught in the act of making such a rare and complex new trait.
And because the species in question is a bacterium, scientists have been able to replay history to show how this evolutionary novelty grew from the accumulation of unpredictable, chance events.

Tel Aviv Turns Off the Lights for Earth Hour 2008
For the first time in history, Tel-Aviv will be representing Israel in the global Earth Hour 2008 and turning off the lights for one hour of energy-free bliss.
Unfortunately, as we have yet to hear about separation of church and state, let alone separation of church and globe, due to the Jewish Sabbath, Tel Aviv will kicking off the project one day earlier than the rest of the world: tomorrow, Thursday March 27, between 8pm to 9pm.
(Note to self: focus on the positive side…)
So yes, Israel is taking action, action long overdue, but action nonetheless.
Bottom line is, I dont care who you are, where you will be, what important things you’ll need to be doing.. tomorrow night please, please, please do us all a favor and:
TURN OFF THE GODDAMN LIGHTS!!!!
Thank you.
Stroke of Insight: Neuroanatomist Finds Heaven on Earth (VIDEO)
Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists could wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke.
As it happened — as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding — she studied and remembered every moment.
This is one of the most powerful stories I have ever heard of recovery and awareness — of how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.
A mind-blowing story of a scientist who breaks down the barriers of science and discovers our immediate access to Heaven on Earth:
(Recorded February 2008 in Monterey, California. Duration: 18:44.)
UPDATE:
Check out Jill Bolte Taylor’s book about her experiences below:

60 Years Since Gandhi’s Death and Where Are We Today?
January 30th marks the 60th anniversary of the assassination of one the most influential heroes in human history.
One of Gandhi’s most famous quotes is “be the change you want to see in the world”.
Because Ghandi knew that the only way to make a true difference in this world is first by changing yourself. He understood that every thought we have and every action we take instantly affects others; whether its the people closest to us or a random person on the other side of the planet (aka the Butterfly Effect). He knew and understood that we are part of ONE collective consciousness.
So as the 60 year anniversary of this great man stands before us, let us think about this list of people we are influencing. Is our life showing them the change we want to see in the world? Will their lives reflect the lessons they learned from watching us?
If not, that is ok. Because it’s not too late.
You and I can start today. Right now. This second.
And may peace, love and compassion prevail on planet Earth.

North American Union and Vchip Truth (Video)
This is the picture that is painted for the future, if you open your eyes to see it: a centralized, one word economy where everyone’s moves and everyones transactions are tracked and monitored, all rights removed.
The most incredible aspect of all: these totalitarian elements will not be forced upon the people; the people will demand them.. For the social manipulation of society and through the generation of fear and division has completely detached humans from their sense of power and reality in a process which has been going on for centuries, if not millenniums. Religion, patriotism, race, wealth, class and every other form of arbitrary, separatist identification thus can see has served to create a controlled population utterly malleable in the hands of the few.
“Divide and Conquer” is the motto. And as long as people continue to see themselves as separate from everything else, they lend themselves to being completely enslaved.
The men behind the curtain know this and they also know that if people ever realized the truth of their relationship to nature and the truth of their personal power, the entire manufactured Zeitgeist they prey upon would collapse like a house of cards.

Why The Rest of the World Hates America
Well there’s at least one thing I LOVE about America, and that is FREEDOM OF SPEECH:
So, how do YOU feel about America???
Diamonds are Forever, But Lives Are Not
I was born with a mission: a strong, inner sense of knowing that something about the world as we know it was just not right. And that my mission, if I so choose to accept it, is to make a difference.
I know that I’m not alone in this, so anyone out there who has felt the same way knows what a screwed up, fucked up, emotionally and mentally exhausting job that is. It’s not easy, I can tell you that.
But what’s ultimately most frustrating is this:
The more we open our eyes to the truth of how things currently are, the more we see.
And the more we see, the more we want/need/desire/hope/pray/fight to change.
And people, it never ends.
So its no surprise that a girl like myself starts her night with some casual surfing the net and suddenly finds herself signing online petitions, shocked and dismayed, in yet another desperate attempt to make a change.
“The time has come to stop supporting tribal warfare, genocide, and acts of terror.
The time has come to end the manipulation and brainwashing that the corrupt De Beers company has enacted these last eighty years.
The time has come to stop buying diamonds.
Completely.
No diamond rings. No diamond earrings. No diamond necklaces or bracelets or watches.
When we wanted to stop elephants from being poached, the world had to stop buying ivory.
If we want to end the wholesale slaughter and exploitation of Africans, we must stop buying diamonds.
And, we must do it now.”
You are welcome to join this mission (if you so choose to accept it)…
But then again, if not you, then who?

How to Live Greener Without Really Trying
Not all of us can throw our bodies in front of tractors that are about to cut down trees or walk around naked in a protest against fur… And you know what? That’s okay! Not all of us have to!
But its pretty naive to assume that if you cant join in on the bigger causes then any other effort is worthless. Ironically enough, getting more people to make smaller changes in their lifestyle can ultimately have a much bigger impact on the planet than joining in on the current minority of “tree hugging fanatics” as I have heard them been called.
Having said that, I am currently working on a new blog called Green Your Day which I hope will focus exactly on this: on the small, seemingly insignificant things we can all start doing TODAY for greener living.
Think of it as “The Lazy Person’s Guide to Greener Living”. Ideal for all those out there who think: “Yeah, but what could I possibly do about it?”
So anyway, check it out as I get this blog rolling and even more importantly: If you have any easy and/or fun environmental tips which you think might be a match for the site, please send them to me at livinginmyownworld@gmail.com and I promise you will get the credit you deserve.
Once again, thanks for helping me change the world one post at a time…
“Children of AIDS” Born with New DNA?
It’s happening: the evolution of our consciousness, our reality… the evolution of ourselves.
Most of you may have heard of Indigo Children… but did you know there are two more types that are being born?
It is official; the mind, the heart, and the body are evolving.
Here is an interesting interview I found:
Interview with Drunvalo Melchizedek
By Diane CooperDiane: So Drunvalo…who are these “Children of the New Dream” that you are so excited about?
Drunvalo: Well there are 3 different kinds of children emerging in the world today that I have been able to identify. The first are called the “Super Psychic Children of China”. The second are called the “Indigo Children” and the third are called the “Children of AIDS”.
The first one, the “Super Psychics of China”, we talked about in the Flower of Life seminars. If you remember, the first one was discovered in 1984 when a child was found who was psychic beyond belief. Researchers conducted every psychic test you could imagine and he was 100% correct every time. You could turn cards over in another room and that didn’t matter. He could perfectly know what was on the card.
So Omni magazine went to China and wrote an article on this discovery. They found one child and then another. When they went in 1984 they assumed it was a hoax so they did experiments like putting 100 kids in a room and taking a book and randomly pulling out a page. They would crumple it up and stick it under their arm. These kids could read every word on the page. They did test after test, and the response was flawless. The phenomena didn’t stop there. These kids are not just in China. They have spread all over the world. I personally have been talking to parents who ask me, “…what do we do.. I have a kid who knows everything?” I believe Lee Carroll is calling the children being born here in the U.S. “the Indigo Children”. I personally think the two groups are coming from the same source, however, I don’t know that for sure. There appears to be two separate groups, incredibly psychic and amazing.
It is the third group that I am most interested in - the Children of AIDS. About 10 or 11 years ago in the US, there was a baby born with AIDS. They tested him at birth and at 6 months and he tested positive for AIDS. They tested him a year later and he still tested positive. Then they didn’t test him again until he was 6, and what was amazing is that this test showed that he was completely AIDS free! In fact, there was no trace that he ever had AIDS or HIV whatsoever!
