A good day

[pch1.livejournal.com]

So I knew yesterday was going to be a good day when I was able to walk by both Starbucks and Diesel Cafe without being approached by any of the kids repping Save The GreenPeace Children from Masspirg.  Then I started to wonder, why is it that these guys can so relentlessly solicit donations everyday, yet if they were to put down their clipboards and strap on a guitar and play for donations they could be ticketed or asked to stop for performing without a permit.

What's up with the priorities around here.  I'd much rather be passing by a street performer than a political missionary.

Re: Do you hate puppy seals too?

my great grandfather apparently used to be a seal hunter; my mother recently sent me an article that interviewed him about the work (the interview was done in the 30s, about his experiences in the 1890s). I'm pretty sure he was doing it because the money was handsome and not because he had a hate-on for the seal pups.

On the other hand, everyone hates sea kittens (http://www.peta.org/sea_kittens/).
