More From Norman Vincent Peale

I had paid for my folly and, as a reward, was invited to take part in the nest builder’s performance piece. the script was great. ‘when i bleat here, do you want me to just bleat or to really let go and “bleat, bleat”?’ i asked. ‘i feel like “bleat, bleating,” but if mother/destroyer is going to be crawling through the birth canal of concertina wire, i don’t want to steal focus, you know what i mean?
Letting Go Mother Mean
Once we roared like lions for liberty; now we bleat like sheep for security! the solution for america's problem is not in terms of big government, but it is in big men over whom nobody stands in control but god.

We laugh at sheep because sheep just follow the one in front. we humans have out-sheeped the sheep, because at least the sheep need a sheep dog to keep them in line. humans keep each other in line. and they do it by ridiculing or condemning anyone who commits the crime, and that’s what it’s become, of being different.

Why, that's like being told to go up in the hills to find lions, only you do not know whether there are any lions, but if there are, they may be hunting you, and they may be disguised as bushes. oh, and if you find any lions, try not to let them eat you before you can tell where they are. -elayne

Cruelty...prefers abstraction. some have tried to resolved this gap by hunting or butchering an animal themselves, as if those experiences might somehow legitimize the endeavor of eating animals. this is very silly. murdering someone would surely prove that you are capable of killing, but it woudln't be the most reasonable way to understand why you should or shouldn't do it.
Silly Animal Hunting
