Oh, I agree about the promotion of ideas and such. An idea, particularly with the state of communication via technology, is in a way more powerful than ever.

I'm not ready to write a book or give a speech, so I'm reading and interpreting and learning how I can best apply that to change. Which will likely land on speeches, as it's not exactly a shortcoming, rather the opposite.

I will sum up my overall understanding with an admission I truly am embarrassed by for some reason. Possibly because I do not like admitting another mere mortal could influence me in any way, since you know, I am immune to external stimulus (heh...), generally distrusting, and loathe the chance of promoting ego in another human being. I've volunteered in shelters, educated on pet overpopulation, given speeches on it, and yes, reached people who were not reached by the more conventional approaches or personalities. However, it took a particular sort of blunt logic to reach me with regard to true animal rights, and begin a process of change. It undoubtedly will seem crazy to some, but that blunt logic was none other than your posts, CF, a fact which is certain to be met with scorn and judgment from some here. ; ) But a fact nonetheless! My point is that I would be the most silly to deny that that contribution.

So yes, I agree with you, Weatherlight. And you should post more!
