George Monbiot reviews Meat: A Benign Extravagance
George Monbiot, I was wrong about veganism. Let them eat meat – but farm it properly
The ethical case against eating animal produce once seemed clear. But a new book is an abattoir for dodgy arguments

$19.00 for a video of an interview? The price seems rather much. (Is it to encourage people to buy the book instead?)

Paul Gottfried on the Ground Zero Mosque controversy
Mosque Hysteria Left and Right
There is a solution to this controversy. Let the elected officials in New York City decide. If the local population is unhappy with their mayor’s commitment to the project, let them vote him out of office. And if the zoning board changes its collective mind and votes against the imam, then so be it. Where houses of worship are placed should be subject to local control. By the way: although it’s not my call and New York is not my place of residence, I am personally against putting the project anywhere near Ground Zero. I am appalled by the hypocrisy of those who are funding this enterprise and who claim to be standing for “interfaith understanding.” Let them put their buildings in Saudi Arabia, where both visitors and residents are forbidden to keep or read Bibles.
In acknowledgement of Labor Day
Maybe we should stop avoiding it as unpleasant and start to love it as something that can perfect us?

Why learn permaculture? For the children and ourselves (original)
Chuck Burr, Southern Oregon Permaculture Institute
Permaculture is one of the only ways home for humanity. If one believes in modernism, industrial agriculture and better living through chemistry read no further. However, if you feel something is not right about the way we live, read on.Oil, health, and health care (original)
Dr. Angela Raffle, British Medical Journal
The April 2010 oil leak in the Mexican Gulf illustrates the risks being taken to extract oil from inaccessible fields, and in June a Lloyd’s 360° risk insight report said, “we have entered a period of deep uncertainty in how we will source energy for power, heat and mobility and how much we will pay for it.” The reason why such damaging extraction methods are pursued, and why Lloyd’s are telling us we face a “new energy paradigm” rather than normal market volatility, is that oil discoveries peaked 40 years ago, and oil supply is probably at its maximum, with decline soon to follow. This has substantial implications for transport, food, jobs, health, and health care.
Fabius Maximus: Generals read “Ender’s Game” and see their vision of the future Marine Corps
How many American generals were using maneuver warfare in the European theater during World War 2? (I have read that Patton was one.) If we could have beaten the Germans at their own game, how much "strategic bombing" of targets in Germany would really have been necessary?

Principles over Politics Rally
The rally was held earlier today - some video at the campaign site for John Dennis. The Hon. Rep. Ron Paul made an appearance. (As I haven't watched the video, I am unsure if he is in the video, but I would think that he is.) I don't know what the turn-out was like in San Francisco; while John Dennis may be too much of a libertarian, he would still be better than Nancy Pelosi. A report on the rally from Robert Taylor.

The utility of Leo Strauss
The latest issue of The Catholic Social Science Review, the one that featured a debate between Thomas Storck and Thomas Woods, also features a symposium, "The Ancients/Moderns Distinction: Catholic Perspectives." Here is the introduction by Kenneth Grasso. I tend to be among those who reject Strauss's intellectual history, but there have been quite a few Catholics who have been influenced by Strauss and his disciples, including Fr. Ernest Fortin and C.N.R. McCoy.

Tin Tin is closing?
The Tin Tin supermarket around the corner is going out of business. It must have been in trouble for a while, since I don't think the bank would suddenly call in its loan or whatever its doing. The other Tin Tin on El Camino Real in Sunnyvale closed a while back (replaced by an Indian grocery store or restaurant, I think).
The store has been going-out-of-business sales these past few days. I was here when it first opened... I think it was the freshman year of high school. In those days there were complaints about the smell of fish, and the store resolved that issue, even if it still smelled like the seafood section still smelled like the typical Chinese grocery store seafood section. I think I saw the L twins and their old sister here. Or was it at Marina? Marina opened a few years after Tin Tin, and Tin Tin began to lose business to the competition from the other Chinese grocery stores in the area. Was it still popular with Chinese people living in the neighborhood? Apparently it wasn't popular enough to survive. I don't know if the stores next to it are owned by the same people or not, or if they just share the Tin Tin name. (One is a Chinese Christian book store.) Given all of the changes that have taken place at that shopping plaza the past 20 years, Tin Tin was a stable anchor, if not a local landmark. What will replace it? Another Chinese business? Or will it be an empty commercial space for a while?
According to Mrs. Y, on the first day there was a mad rush, thanks to mainlanders and Taiwanese trying to get a good deal. What would non-Chinese people think if they witnessed the lack of manners on display that day? The bank had already taken over, and was apparently trying to recover some money from what was in stock and couldn't be returned.
I actually haven't verified the store is closing -- I assume that it is, but I haven't read the signs on the store's doors for myself.
Edit. My mother says there is an article in the print edition of World Journal (ä¸–ç•Ść—Ąĺ ±) which says the owner run away, absconding with some funds and leaving his creditors hung out to dry.
