Guest guest Posted February 15, 2002 Report Share Posted February 15, 2002 Nationalism is a dangerous thing. in fact, pretty much all collective association, from a spiritual perspective, is a path towards rocky ground, anything that is prefixed by " I am ... " ultimately divides and separates. I am, you are not ... , when in truth, we are all one. as galling as it is to admit. [ I generally even avoid saying I am a vegan rather just to say I eat a vegan diet or try to follow a vegan lifestyle. It deflects all the prepared psychology about " vegans " before it is even fired. ] but ... I have to say that it is a little extra badge of honour to be born Scots today, as the Scottish Parliament bans the dog hunting of foxes, hares, badgers and the like. Must be to the animal rights movement what Wilberforce et al was to the turn against slavery. a small but important milestone. is this the first civilised nation to ban hunting from within? or the first signs of any nation hunting greater symptoms of civilisations? has to send a little Richter wave around the world and will surely be used by other campaigners in other countries. Scot's wa' hey wi' nae foxes bled. well done. What a fine nation, unique to create a nationalist party that is not about hatred but higher ideals and now to take the lead in matters of animals rights and prove that public support is in our favour. It'll be interesting to see if if the matter embarrasses the English Labour Party into having to take action. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
