Yesterday morning I was in downtown Salt Lake City sitting at a red light. I couldn’t help but notice the person in front of me had a bumper sticker supporting a certain presidential candidate. I think its great that they are supporting “mr. presidential candidate”. However, when the arrow flashes green this car sits there still as be, the driver talking on his cell phone while the rest of us are missing our opportunity to advance.
Who do I look to blame? Well, its Mr. “presidential candidate”, the only name or assotiation I can pin to the guy in front of me.

A note to those who support their favorite candidates on their bumper. When you drive like an idiot, your hurting your party.

Today I read an article that made me shutter at how ridiculous people can be. Especially people involved in PETA. This article may have been a publicity stunt, if it was it worked, it was all over the web including a NYC news station http://www.wnbc.com/news/17539627/detail.html. In a nutshell, it suggests that ice cream maker Ben and Jerry’s use human breast milk instead of traditional cow milk. Since you’re reading my post and probably care at least a little about what I have to say, I think I’ll make a short list about why I think this is incredibly dumb.

1. Ben and Jerry’s is already making more effort than most of the other guys to make sure their cows aren’t given hormones. Give them a break and go after someone else.
2. According to the article cows are being punished by being milked. Anyone care to tell me how the all the ladies being milked are going to feel about being milked.
3. If its so bad for cows to be milked how is it going to be better for people? Does PETA really care more about cows than their own species?
4. Cows udders hold a bit of milk. Just given the size ratio alone, they are going to have to line up a lot of willing ladies to replace cow milk with breast milk.
5. Seriously, who in the world has the stomach to eat a pint of Ben and Jerry’s newest flavors?  Gag me.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for treating animals humanely (then having them for dinner). I just think that some people get so carried away with it that they stop using common sense.

As a regrettable side note, I did sign a PETA petition once for something at warped tour because they were giving away free dvd’s. Yes, I fell for the scam and scored what turned out to be a crappy dvd which lacked music, then entire selling point, and pushed their radical agenda.
