I was talking to a friend of mine about vegetarianism (seeing that both of us are) and I was saying that it was the industry of meat and how environmentally damaging it is. Not to mention that a huge amount of crops are grown just to feed the future steaks, burgers and what-not and that those crops could be grown to feed, ya know, people.

So far it's all well and good, but when I mention that I think humans are more important than animals and that I care more about human rights than animal rights my friend says: "I'm really shocked to hear you say that".
Shocked.
Seriously?!
The fact that I prefer my own species better over another? (except cats of course, but then again, they are Gods upon the Earth).
How is this shocking?
Someone explain to me, how is saying human rights are more important that animal rights, shocking?

Anyone?

קואליצית הסטודנטים באוניברסיטת תל-אביב מזמינה אותך לקורס חוץ-קוריקולרי (אבל לא חוץ תקציבי) שלישי, מבית היוצר של "בצל הכיבוש" (2004) ו-"גדרות ללא גבולות" (2006).

השנה יעסוק הקורס בניאו-ליברליזם ובהפרטה. כיצד תהליכים אלו משפיעים על ספירות החיים השונות בישראל/פלסטין, וכיצד הם נוגעים לחייהן של קבוצות חברתיות שונות? נעסוק גם במאבקים ואלטרנטיבות ונחקור דרכים חדשות למאבק אנטי-קפיטליסטי. את/ה לא רוצה לפספס את זה.

ימי שני, 18:00, חדר 326, בניין גילמן (מדעי הרוח).


The Student Coalition at Tel Aviv University presents its 3rd extra-curricular, extra-political and extravagant course, Hurray!

This year, we will be discussing neo-liberalism and privatisation. How do these rather abstract concepts relate to different spheres of life in Israel/Palestine and what kind of influences do they have on various social groups?

We will also look into struggles and alternatives and investigate new forms of anti-capitalist action. You don't want to miss it.

Mondays, 18:00, Room 326, Gilman (Humanities) Building.

V

But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona.

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

-"V for Vendetta"
