Boston, MA

I am a former journalist, present writer, communications specialist. My heart's deepest passion is to be an example and work however I can toward a revolution in "human" thought about "other" animals. They are not multiples, they are individuals. They are not apart from us. They are a part of us. They are our planetary co-inhabitants. If we could completely "see" them all life would change for the better in ways we can scarcely imagine.

Ban Horse-Drawn Carriages in New York City - new bill needs support

The use and commercial exploitation of these horses is an example of imprisonment and torture carried on in broad daylight. The drivers are criminals. Most European countries and many in South American have banned this barbaric practice. It has to stop.

Withdraw Execution Warrant and Grant DNA Testing to Hank Skinner

We Americans think of ourselves as being the best and holding an example to the world. However when the American "justice" system ritually kills men and women -- especially when it declines to investigate what might be new data -- that is atavistic and barbaric and belongs to the primitive past. It has to stop. Every step backward damages our spirit and the national soul. Or if you like: "Vengeance is mine, saith The Lord."
