OK. I really try not to use words like "idiot", but in the case of Peta, I just can't help myself. They really do bring it upon themselves. Do they even realize how crazy they look?
Peta, as an "animal right advocate group" (and I'm being kind here) has lifted the role of animals to that of an even higher status than humans. However, their tactics leave very much to be desired.
They have no qualms about lying, being outright hypocrites, using terroristic propaganda, trying to create alcoholics, and making up outlandish stories to get their point across. And their leader, Ingrid Newkirk, is the most outlandish of all.
The sad thing is, many people (including Hollyweird celebs) are behind them, bringing along with them their bottomless pockets.
Case in point, this newest campaign by Peta against Ben & Jerry's ice cream. This campaign of theirs mixes both the gross with the crazy into their own special Peta "flavor."
Ben & Jerry are die-hard liberals, but even they think the idea is udderly ridiculous! :)
Religious, Financial, Scientific, Social, Political, and Technological events hurtling us toward the TRIBULATION (Matthew 24, Revelation). Time is short. JUDGEMENT is coming. The MARK of the BEAST is imminent. You MUST be saved! ABCs of Salvation: A-ADMIT OR ACKNOWLEDGE your need for a Savior (Romans 3:10) B-BELIEVE that Jesus Christ came and died for your sins (Acts 16:31) C-CALL ON the name of Jesus and you WILL be Saved (Romans 10:13)
Bono's ONE campaign
As I am a rather RABID U2 fan, I thought I would add this article on Bono, who has truly become one of the most well spoken "lobbyists" on global poverty and development.
To some, he may be "just a singer" but his following (and that of U2) is legion. He's very intelligent, and doesn't play favorites. He's met with both Bush and Clinton, as well as other people on opposite sides of the fence, in order to get funding for Africa.
Besides that, Bono is one of the greatest lyricists of our time. His Irish upbringing, his strong faith, and "gift of gab" have helped him write some of the deepest most meaningful lyrics penned in music, and as such, has led U2 to the top of the music charts over and over.
EDIT: argh, looks like 'twas not to be. :( Could have been one of my fave photos ever!

Stem Cell Breakthrough Could Change Debate
Seeing as how adult stem cells are the only type that have been (and should be) experimented with, this news may be another step toward not using fetal or infant stem cell research.
