I have also walked in protest against apartheid in South Africa (with a big banner), managed to get Dawn detergent shipped to Florida to aid with the oiled-wildlife cleanup, written about child abuse, cyanide pollution, and written about and done all sorts of other matters.

All my pets have been rescues or strays (except the three goldfish I purchased when I was about 18 ).

In 2004, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law California’s Senate Bill 1520, banning the sale of foie gras and any product that is the result of force-feeding animals.

Chicago banned foie gras between 2006 and 2008:

“U.S.-based social gamers are far more likely to play with strangers than their UK counterparts (41% vs. 29%).”
