I beg the Maximum Leader to consider adding Ally at “Who Moved My Truth” to the Blogroll. She will fit in well and is a good critical reader of some of our other favorite blogs like Bill’s Comments and Analphilosopher.
She is of a political inclination pleasing to the Maximum Leader, though she may be a bit squishy - I mean thoughtful - and does not parrot a party line. We need to support reasoned blogs, by God!
Ally also does whimsy in a way that will appeal to the Naked Villainy cabal. I direct our collective attention to:
She is a feminist/citizen of our stripe - believing in equality not coddling.
Maximum Leader, I know that you can’t resist a woman who takes pictures of the Highlands. (Attention Foreign Minister: page two has re-enactors!)
Her blog might also be a good balance in the “ethics of eating meat” discussion we have been having over the last year or so. She is a moral vegetarian, but does not commit the fallacy of claiming equal moral merit for animals. Here is a piece - “Barbarism or Cuisine” she did on the SoDaMonk article I blogged about (indirectly) here.
I wish all consumers would start to think like this quote from Ally’s article:
“If I ever desire to eat meat again, I would purchase from small farmers with whom I am familiar and whose practices of which I approve.”
But I guess I’m naive to think that consumer preferences in the marketplaces can balance economies of scale found in factory farming.
So, Maximum Leader, does she make the blogroll?
