Hi Spiritofthedrum:

I’m so glad that I checked back; sorry, it took a little while. My link is: http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/Mommy’sWritings.html (currently not active); it’s also in my signature block, which is reflected below in this comment to you.

Again, I apologize for the link not presently being active. Its link will be activated as book 1’s released into the Marketplace, which my publisher informs me should be in the early months of this Year 2012. Book 1, in the Mommy Writings Series, titled Mommy’s Writings: Mommy, would you like a sandwich? soon moves into Strategic Book Group, LLC’s layout department; so I’m closing in on its Marketplace entrance. Thanks for inquiring!

PS For me, I know life after death continues. Indeed, it’s the only thing that I’m certain of in life, as we know it on earth.

Tim Bragg, you wrote this fascinating book review on “Is there Life After Death,” by Anthony Peake. I read and understood every one of your words and I enjoyed it! Author Peake’s look into the extraordinary Science of what happens when we die certainly is a must read. For me, perhaps, it’s viewed a bit more real and a bit more differently. In my novel, “Mommy’s Writings: Mommy, would you like a sandwich?” I’ve written a detailed account of my life after death. Man cannot see into the mind of God, but ego tries. By this act, in doing so, it gives us a sense of assurance that we’re not alone. Isn’t this pretty much back to the beginning of everything? It’s question to be answered by every soul? Does one believe in God? Man’s creator also known as heavenly Father, universal source, God Consciousness, etc. Ultimately, it’s faith in God. Earth is a learning ground; and it’s in one’s choosing in having an individual relationship with God that we grow closer to him and in likeness form. In perspective, it’s the ineffaceable love relationship with God.

Best play seen for long time. Passion sympathy and laughs all contained in a very serous subject matter. Hats off to the players who made it all very real.

This is one powerful film. The shooting style is intense, mixing action with heart-wrenching drama with Leonardo DiCaprio’s great lead performance. Good review, check out mine when you can please!

Comment on Philosophy: The Dirty Secret by Spiritofthedrum

All animal food with an ethically reared (and slaughtered – forgive the possible paradox) standard to be SOLD by LAW (and government subsidised) as the same price for the cheapest cut/pint of milk/box of eggs in that particular store. Thus – if Sainsbury’s cheapest meat is £3 a pound (I have no idea what the price of meat is and refuse to apply foreign measurements to English products) then the same equivalent cut MUST be as cheap. ALSO there MUST be an equivalent range available! This might seem draconian. This might seem anti-small shop-keeper. Not at all (the latter at least) as the food is subsidised it would make no difference to the shop selling the products – they buy at source where the subsidy is applied. Obviously Kosher/halal meat will not carry an ethical standard – so some shops will have to carry double ranges of meat etc – if that entails meat unsold that is for the shop to decide. My thoughts are that shops would encourage buyers to get the ethically reared/slaughtered food as it would make no difference to them and ensure no waste. We have had subsidies in the past and – seeing what we’re capable of doing in Military Adventures MONEY IS NO OBJECT Just put down quickly so needs replies and thoughts….

I find Tim’s article so well written. I find it honest and fair. I would like to take up his point regarding meat eaters. I am one of them. I eat meat from monitored farms and free range. The problem I would like to focus on is the fact that a lot of people cannot afford organic. They will go for the cheap option because it’s what they can afford. I am sick and tired listening to the meat industry say that they cannot bring down the cost of organic meat because the demand is not there. To me it’s not rocket science. If they brought the price down people would buy it.
I’m sure, there are a lot of people who are animal lovers, who dislike the treatment of how they are killed, but how will that change unless the meat industry gets it’s act together and do the right thing and make it affordable. It is about time the government did something about this. It’s about time they held the meat industry accountable for their actions and get them to realise that organic should be affordable for all. That organic is the way that is right for the animals and right for us humans.
Yes, people need to be made aware of the inhumane practices by the meat industry, but they should never be made to feel guilty for not being able to afford better. I’m sure given the opportunity, they would go with the organic choice.
I absolutely agree with Tim, we have to be sensitive in how we go about waking people up from not knowing how an animal is killed to ending up on a prepacked supermarket shelf. Understanding the pyschology of people is important in this case. Making them feel guilty or telling them to just stop eating meat is not going to work with a lot of people. Being judgemental just tends to make people angry, which defeats the purpose. It can also do more harm than good, which would be a major set back.
I understand that there will be vegetarians and vegans who will not be very happy at the idea of coming together to promote organic meat. I can only ask you to think about this. Promoting organic as you know means that the animal is killed humanely. It is allowed the freedom to roam and eat a proper diet. These animals are not kept in cages or locked up, never to see daylight. Is promoting organic methods not a better alternative for reaching out to people and thus making them aware of the animal cruelty that goes on? I believe so. I can only hope you do too.
