Have Thought Will Travel. Ruminate on ideas, philosophy, culture, society, books, music, politics, religion, movies...and see where it takes us.
May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Obama, The Fly, and PETA
Well, not everyone is enamored of our Dear Leader swatting a fly, swooning comments not withstanding. PETA has chastised the Swatter in Chief for murdering the poor innocent beast. Seriously. They sent him a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside. I didn't know that PETA members were Jains "advocating harmlessness towards all, whether these be creatures great or small. This policy extends even to microscopic organisms". Maybe if these knuckleheads practiced some of the other principles of Jainism they would be more tolerable.
