Hierarchy, disconnection, individualism (in terms of non-recognition or the connectedness of all living beings and mother Earth)...all these factors skew and derange our veganelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188156008589356984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688566476953748496.post-28256579257867564632015-06-30T15:27:25.530-05:002015-06-30T15:27:25.530-05:00This is another post I've been meaning to resp...This is another post I've been meaning to respond to for a while now.
