Ariel should eat meat! - Sutherland Soapbox

Ariel should eat meat! 02/22/2009

These were the words 6 year old Madi shouted over her shoulder as her mom ushered her out of the school. Horrified by her daughter's words, Madi's mom immediately apologized and proceeded to scold Madi all the way down the hallway until she was out of sight. I'm not sure what they thought of my reaction which was immediate giggling, but another mom obviously shared my sentiments. Once they were out of sight she said "that was too funny!"
When I am around Ariel's classmates, they will often come up and ask me (because I assume they don't believe Ariel when he tells them) "Does Ariel really not eat meat? Not even nuggets?!?"
None of this seems to bother Ariel. He still won't touch the head off the tofurkey. :)

How was
your day?

We've found that the answer to this ostensibly mundane question is pretty important.

Our aspiration for our corner of the web is to join in the much larger circle of ideas and influence occurring around us. We come across remarkable stuff in our travels, we'd like to remark on it. "Ideas need to move to turn into better ideas."*

We hope the stuff contained herein, which has made our day far brighter, inspires a better day for you as well.

"These thoughts my dear friend, are many of them crude & hasty, and if I were merely ambitious of acquiring some reputation in philosophy, I ought to keep them by me till corrected by time or farther experience. But since even short hints . . . being communicated, have often times had good effect . . . It being of more importance that knowledge should increase, than that your friend should be thought an accurate philosopher."
- Dr. Franklin (Benjamin)
