Is that an animal corpse you are munching, or are you just glad to see me?

I hate to be the type of guy who brings attention to someone best left under the rock they periodically crawl out from under, but I'm going to have to be that type of guy. My post about the deer population and proposed culling of the overpopulated herd in Shawnee Mission Park brought me to the website and blog of Jason Miller. Miller is the self avowed protector of defenseless animals from the hoards of carnivorous capitalist scum, that means most of you reading this. I don't normally get to worked up over some tofu eater who plays anarchist/activist, I generally poke fun of them then move on. But this clown has some fairly disturbing writing, and it made me wonder if the clueless mostly normal people who rubbed elbows with this dirt bag really know his philosophy, or if they just joined in the protest because they are still traumatized over Bambi's mom getting a cap popped in her big white tail.

Here is an excerpt from his blog "Imagine the panic and economic backlash if someone countered their reprehensible mendacity with some major black propaganda. Widespread and effectively orchestrated rumors of massive quantities of BSE-infected “meat,” millions of gallons of “milk” tainted with melamine, thousands of people experiencing horrific side effects and dying as a result of taking the latest pharmaceutical that was deemed “safe” via animal testing".

Yep, you read correctly. This shit heel is promoting poisoning the food chain, that means he is perfectly fine with the mass killing of men, women, and children in his battle to save animals. There is an endless supply of crazy talk on Millers site. One of Millers buddies takes crazy to a whole different level. Dave Warwak, who was featured in the Pitch comment O the week, along with yours truly, is another animal rights terrorist and all around nut job. Warwak was fired a couple years back from a teaching position at a middle school in Chicago. He was teaching Vegan ism to the class. His method is beyond crazy. Warwak passed out marshmallow Peeps to his students. He had the students care for the Peeps for a few days, sort of like the school project that has students care for a baby doll. After a few days Warwak had the kids bring the peeps to school. He chopped off their heads, the Peeps, not the students. He skinned a Peep and made a vest or some other fashion design for a Barbie. He got shit canned for his efforts, duh. Warwak is also another big promoter of terrorist acts in the pursuit of animal rights. Lest I forget, warwak taught students with learning disabilities. Here is an excerpt from Warwak's blog

"I am all for violence instead of dragging animal liberation’s realization just to avoid violence. I mean nonviolence is cool … when it works ... when we have the time."

So what's the point MM? Do you think these chuckle heads will really follow through? Maybe not, but they certainly play to an audience that has more than a few dimly lit bulbs in it. The Internet is chock full of easily impressed head cases, and there in lies the real danger. Charlie Manson was able to manipulate a small group of impressionable middle class kids into doing some pretty horrific shit. These guys have a vastly wider audience. I wonder how many of the well meaning albeit misguided people who joined in the Shawnee Mission Park protests were aware of the philosophy of Miller and his cronies.

We look to the sky like Chicken Little, waiting for Muslim extremists to fly a 747 into a new building, we worry about the next terrorist attack coming from another continent. I think the real threat to America is the home grown terrorist. Zealots like Miller and Warwak who prey on the silly putty gray matter of impressionable college kids who are mad at Mommy and Daddy for giving them a good life and the opportunity to piss away 5 or 10 years in Art school. We write these guys off as harmless hippy types who eat from dumpsters and smell like patchouli. That's a big mistake, and one day in the not too distant future that ignorance will rise up and bite us in the ass. The pro life movement while mostly inhabited by well meaning religious folks, has also spawned some cold blooded killers. Islamic extremists have done likewise. My point is that the danger doesn't necessarily lie in the messenger, but in those who take the message to heart. I'm not saying the next act of terrorism will originate from Miller and company's ramblings, but it's not implausible.
