You might find that you’re perfectly happy being a vegetarian all the time except Sunday mornings, when you just want to goddamned pieces of bacon with your scrambled eggs. You might not think about the chicken stock in the soup until after you’ve eaten it. That’s ok. Don’t feel like you’ve failed as a vegetarian. Even though, yes, you ate some meat, you are eating less meat. Your new vegetarianism (whatever your reason for it) is not some fragile vase that is going to shatter the second you have a bite of meat. It is as strong as you decide it is, and the boundaries are where you set them. Remember that what’s important here is net benefit. A single hot dog does not erase all the benefits from not eating meat for the previous weeks, months, or years. If you were only 100% vegetarian for a single day that would be better than never.</span></blockquote>craniachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17581351884044064053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3897663.post-33989760870103154472008-05-03T16:38:00.000-07:002008-05-03T16:38:31.737-07:00Footprints At The River's Edge<a href="http://footprintsattheriversedge.blogspot.com/">Footprints At The River's Edge</a>: "City after city, when they'd find the spot where the body went in, they would find something else: The symbol of a smiley face.

It was indeed in the end about smearing and labeling Obama as a far-left, atheist, elite, pansy Godless snob fraud. That was almost all it came to be about. It was the Clintons' core message and core belief. And if anywhere would have proved its salience, it would surely have been beleaguered and depressed central and western Pennsylvania; and it would surely have worked with white ethnic voters over 50.<br /><br />It did work, it seems to me.
