I also had a thing for Julie Andrews in "The Sound of Music," like k.d.
I feel like I'm forever discovering myself. It's taken 43 years for me to come this far in my evolution. Maybe by the time I'm 90 I will be fully self-realized. LOL

I see quite a few parallels of your life/choices to those of k.d. - HCL'er, vegeterian (she also had trouble with initially dispensing with her leather shoes), protesting with PETA... imageMore power to you for your great choices. image ]]> feeds@yuku.com (eversimple) http://kdlang.org/reply/12492 Mon, 07 Mar 2005 07:55:00 PST <![CDATA[ Re: Anyone ever protested? ]]> http://kdlang.org/reply/12491/Anyone-ever-protested-#reply-12491 I was a card-carrying member of PETA back in the mid 80s, and I attended a couple rallies in NYC. The problem for me was the lack of respect for other people's choices. I'm not going to destroy someone's property over my beliefs.
And right now I'm still wearing leather, even though I've gone vegetarian again. I have far too many perfectly good pairs of leather shoes to just throw them out and not nearly enough disposable income to replace them and give them to charity! I would be pretty peeved if someone threw ink on my UGGs!
I went to my first protest (against the Viet Nam War) when I was 5! I've protested a lot of things and stood in support of a lot of groups. I will continue to do so, but I will always choose non-violent options.

Yes, I was quite active in my support of animal rights issues when I was in my 20's when we had a local animal rights group and attended organised demos in London against foxhunting, vivisection and factory farming. We had a rooftop demonstration of a local animal testing laboratory and a quite well organised protest at the RMA Sandhurst against foxhunting. Most of the time we tried to attract attention to animal issues by dressing up and leafletting in order to gain local Press attention. I took part in a mock fashion show against the fur trade and we organised a public burning of (donated) fur coats in our town centre. Lastly, I was arrested (along with other members of a national anti-vivisection group) in the House of Commons during the reading of a so-called revision of the animal testing bill. We were just protesting verbally,... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (jules) http://kdlang.org/reply/12490 Mon, 28 Feb 2005 06:39:00 PST <![CDATA[ Re: Anyone ever protested? ]]> http://kdlang.org/reply/12489/Anyone-ever-protested-#reply-12489 This message has been deleted by the author. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (deb) http://kdlang.org/reply/12489 Tue, 02 Oct 2001 09:42:00 PST <![CDATA[ Re: Anyone ever protested? ]]> http://kdlang.org/reply/12488/Anyone-ever-protested-#reply-12488 Good Pattie - we need many more guys like you ,but I can say that I dont agree with people, who for the sake of the demonstration, let loose nimals born and breed in cages. They haven´t got a chance outside. To me it´s pure cruelty. They should go for the shops only.image

I never thought of it in those terms but it gives a certain feeling of achievement. Thanks for shedding a new perspective on things! ]]> feeds@yuku.com (charlee) http://kdlang.org/reply/12485 Fri, 08 Jun 2001 23:47:00 PST <![CDATA[ Re: Anyone ever protested? ]]> http://kdlang.org/reply/12484/Anyone-ever-protested-#reply-12484 Charlee- I know what you think of, andt no I havn't, but then I do feel that I'm protesting every time I dont eat meat. People do "stop & stare" when you say:"no thanks , I don't eat meat". Mostly They start to make excrs. for themselves and so on- so, yes, I believe it's a protest in itself. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Bluejay) http://kdlang.org/reply/12484 Fri, 08 Jun 2001 21:27:00 PST <![CDATA[ Anyone ever protested? ]]> http://kdlang.org/topic/779/Anyone-ever-protested- Just wondering if anybody has been involved in any sort of demonstration or protest against animal cruelty/slaughter? I haven't but if something came up I would definitely join in. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (charlee) http://kdlang.org/topic/779 Fri, 08 Jun 2001 17:39:00 PST
