    Default What are you passionate about?

    What do you like to support and educate people about?

    I am very passionate about breastfeeding and child safety. Child abuse is one of my main concerns and child safety including car seats and nutrition.

    I also love animals and love to support local shelters.

    You?

    Animal safety/spay and neuter programs/animal cruelty/ANIMALS!!!!

    Spiders. I love spiders and I love to educate people about spiders and how beneficial they are...if people will listen.

    Alcohol/drug abuse/recovery/sobriety. *(Mine.) I don't preach, or even bring up this subject, really, because it can be really really touchy. I try to wait for an invite before I advise/talk about this one.

    Animal cruelty, especially horse slaughter (and educating people about the types of horses that go to slaughter...so many people truly believe it's only very old or broken down horses)

    Dogs. Especially training. It amazes me how many people gets dogs first, without having a clue of how to take care of it or discipline it...and then are shocked when they have a disobedient or aggressive dog.

    Pretty much all animal issues :-)

    I'm passionate about gender equality, especially in places where it is not the cultural norm, but am also not happy about busting in to another culture and being like "hey, you're wrong". So...

    Also anti-consumerism. I really dislike how so many people are in debt due to stupid spending...I like to do my very best to consume as little as possible, and make it used, local and/or produced by a small business or collective whenever possible.

    Animals - conservation and I am dead against any form of cruelty to animals.

    I strongly believe in the RSPCA's freedoms for animals.
    - freedom to express natural behaviours
    - freedom from hunger, thirst and discomfort
    - freedom from pain, injury or disease


    These are some of the charities that I support:

    Me too, except I'm worse. I can't even handle one on TV or even a photo. I jumped back in my seat at that picture above. I think the only way past it is to get used to it. You'd have to be near spiders...a lot. Then you get more used to them and they'd bother you less and less. I can't decide which is more terrifying, a spider anywhere near me, or approaching women.

    Yet I have a poor diet and don't worry at all about heart disease...fear is so rarely a rational thing.

    Anti-television is sort of a passion of mine. I'm not a total nutcase about it; there are a couple of shows I like, and a very little bit of television is fine. But I don't have a working TV in my house (it plays DVD's but gets no TV reception) and I wouldn't even have that if I had kids. I'm a huge fan of the "Kill Your TV" campaign and take every opportunity to counter the popular message that there is no life without television.

    I have taken on many causes in my life. Most of which defend individual freedom and choice. I was quite politically active at one time. I am no longer "active" in such issues in the political sense.

    I have read a great deal of Buddhism in the last couple years and would not call myself a Buddhist, but I do believe in much of what it represents. I prefer to spend my life dealing with one person at a time. Trying to set an example of respect for all other beings. I think that developing this base respect is the key to so many other "issues."

    A more concrete example is that I do donate money to many different organizations. Groups that I feel can make a positive impact on the world. The specific issue does not matter too much.
