In any group you're in, what's the most important equity in that group?

I deeply appreciate all the comments on my last post about factory farmed confinement dairy cows being fitted with VR goggles playing a loop of sunny green pastures to make them happy and therefore more productive.

Just when you thought factory farming couldn't become more egregious, imagine the animals wearing Virtual Reality (VR) goggles to make them think their life is good when it's not. What a twisted web of ethics this raises.

I'm thankful some people find the time and emotional fortitude to wade through bills as they come before legislative assemblies. God bless 'em.

I'm now writing a monthly column for the magazine PLAIN VALUES and this is a plug for everyone to subscribe. Historically it has been aimed at the Amish-Mennonite community (people who dress plain) but its success is moving to a broader base.

My last post garnered the comment that this new constitutional amendment in Maine does not guarantee food commerce; the language speaks more to personal production and consumption.
