Per Mr. Singer's comment about the triviality of her name change in the middle of the economy travesty . . . .

Self-interests to the detriment of everyone else is what got us into this economic mess. Caring about something besides your own greed, or your 15 minutes of fame in Mr. Singer's case, extends into other facets of life.

“Anyone who has accustomed himself to regard the life of any living creature as worthless is in danger of arriving also at the idea of worthless human lives.”—Albert Schweitzer

“If man is not to stifle human feelings, he must practice kindness to animals, for He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.” —Immanuel Kant

My hat is off to this young lady. Unlike Mr. Singer's off handed attempt to be cleaver and funny, Ms Dissection.com realizes the importance of that first step toward change.

I am personally very disappointed with Mr. Singer's attitude. He could have still kept humor in his article by supporting and bringing POSITIVE attention to this important cause, just as Ms Dissection.com has done.

And a quote for Ms Dissection.com:

“The fate of animals is of greater importance to me than the fear of appearing ridiculous.”—Emile Zola

I agree.

Miley Cyrus's real name is Destiny Hope. So I guess you meant Miley Ray Destiny Hannah Hope Montana Stewart Cyrus. ;)

And yeah, if anything, things like this just push their causes further from the mainstream.

Call me square (please, though, not the proper name "Square"), but I'm more apt to listen to a woman named Jennifer talk about just about anything than listen to a person named Cutout. She loses credibility with a conventional gal like me.
