have had WFMU on all day, but have been bogged down with other stuff :(
however, i MUST thank you for introducing us to Alan Jacobs -- had to stop dead in my tracks when he was speaking of Frederick Douglass -- and my (goofy, vegan, abolitionist) tired old geezer heart and soul just soared when he was speaking of how future generations will view the consumption of dead decomposing flesh as abhorrent :)
my activism became reignited and intensified about 20 years ago -- C. R. Greek, M.D. was speaking about vivisection (something i thought had died with the 60s and 70s!) at an animal rights conference -- he also remarked how we "activists" were at the forefront, and how in the future, people will wonder how humanity would have used/abused animals for "research"
so again, THANK YOU Alan Jacobs for writing this book and THANK YOU Mark for this incredible interview!
