Like Have Gone Vegan says, there certainly is an art to it, and I'm working on it.<br /><br />It's not that I don't want to speak out of turn for fear of embarrassment or anything, I just don't want to damage to the cause. I do speak out, I just try to be careful about how and when I go about it. <br /><br />I'm glad to realise that other people make mistakes when getting their message across too, we're not perfect, and it's a difficult and lonely process. <br /><br />Definitely right though, the most important thing is to stay in the game - I'm going nowhere!<br /><br />xNicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011411278068654262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908732310622915210.post-80063945171481076722011-10-02T21:21:36.880-07:002011-10-02T21:21:36.880-07:00I know it's very hard to be reserve when faced...I know it's very hard to be reserve when faced with the holocaust all around us. It's everywhere - On t.v., the billboards & ads, the fast-slaughter-food joints... The grocery stores. It can be maddening and often impossible to stand by in silence.<br /><br />I too am very grateful for the community of support and friends found on the web. It helps to know that others are going through the very same things as I. <br /><br />And putting things in perspective... I don't doubt that 200 years ago many who were disgusted by slavery also didn't want to be one of "those" abolitionists who spoke out of turn... But thankfully there were others who yelled loud and clear to "Set the slaves free!". <br /><br />Maybe each one of us in our own experiences of advocacy and activism picks and chooses when the time is right to say what's really on our minds... Everyone gets a turn at bat to make a difference... And to make mistakes- The main thing is to stay in the game. The victims are counting on us. ;)Bea Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981537551810309024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908732310622915210.post-22586892972966667412011-10-02T17:35:32.291-07:002011-10-02T17:35:32.291-07:00I hear ya!

It's a real struggle knowing when to speak up and when to let it go, and I sure still haven't learned the art of it yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908732310622915210.post-63769481442476919112011-10-02T14:34:54.142-07:002011-10-02T14:34:54.142-07:00Yep, same Molly.

But thanks for that visual, hahaha!<br /><br />No she didn't work for PETA - but how strange that we both know a vegan activist stripper!! Ha!<br /><br />That's a good point about the racist comments...it's hard to find a balance between just allowing these things to go on, and doing things that hinder the cause, very difficult indeed.<br /><br />xNicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011411278068654262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908732310622915210.post-59126223943505598702011-10-02T13:17:05.836-07:002011-10-02T13:17:05.836-07:00And gosh, did she work for PETA?

But then I wonder if it would be okay to shut up if someone is making really racist statements or whatever also. I think it's fine for people to say something, I don't want it to be me because I feel like my place is probably better being a more subtle vegan-but there is something so wrong that people don't have to confront what is on their plate. Your mom or Mickey is a vegan stripper?? Anyway, if the vegan stripper said something, all the better, as that seems just really zany!Get Skinny, Go Vegan.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06973914105867913930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908732310622915210.post-22457239048150581162011-10-01T06:45:11.175-07:002011-10-01T06:45:11.175-07:00It is so hard to keep quiet sometimes.
