OMNI
VEGETARIAN
NEWSLETTER #5, March 12, 2014. Compiled by Dick Bennett for a Culture of
Peace, Justice, and Ecology. (#4 Feb. 12, 2014).
What
is the mission of OMNI?
With
the Quakers we seek:
a
world free of war and the threat of war,
a
society with equity and justice for all,
a
community where every person’s potential may be fulfilled,
and
an earth restored.
That is, the Quakers and the entire peace,
justice, and ecology movement, of which OMNI is a part, seek to create a better
world. This is no passive: undertaking.
A Call to
the People by George Monbiot
From: Robert McAfee <robertjmca1@gmail.com>

After more than a quarter of a century of environmental campaigning I’ve come to see that the only thing that really works is public mobilisation: the electorate putting so much pressure on governments that they are obliged to take a stand against powerful interests.

Linus the Vegetarian
T. Rex Hardcover
Meet
Linus—a Tyrannosaurus rex who is very brave, very tough, and very…vegetarian?
Ruth Ann Mackenzie knows everything about dinosaurs. She knows their names. She knows when they lived. And she certainly knows what they ate. So when she meets Linus, a towering, toothy T. rex who prefers picking vegetables to preying on his herbivorous neighbors, she’s not sure what to think. Is something wrong with Linus? Or does Ruth Ann maybe, just maybe, not know everything there is to know about dinosaurs?
Dino lovers young and old will delight in this picture book chock-full of prehistoric personality—and don’t forget to search for the naughty velociraptor duo hidden throughout the book!

Yeats
and Felder
Yeats, “The
Second Coming”: “The best lack all
conviction while the worst/Are full of passionate intensity.” Here
Yeats is referring to the constant fight between good and evil, or better and
baser human instincts. In these violent times, good unfortunately seems down
and out—paralyzed or “drowned” as described in the previous line. Intelligent
and decent people fail to act with confidence, while ignorant and malicious people
run roughshod over society.
From a poem by
Brian Felder, “Watching Fox News at the VA Hospital”:
“the ones who
know shit from Shinola
But say
nothing; their silence, [is] complicity.”
