For those of you who are joining me from the Sustainable Scoop – Welcome. I really enjoy writing on the scoop, but I was starting to worry that my thoughts on animal altruism were getting a little too heavy and maybe even drifting away from the mission of the site. So to curb that concern, The Great Divide has now been born. This site aims to be a continuation of what I started on the Scoop and maybe even a little bit more. While most of my previous posts were related to animals and their welfare, I hope to also explore some of the deeper thoughts around our culture and the many things we do to distance ourselves from the natural world. Blogging has been very liberating for me. It’s funny I used to wonder why Kerry enjoyed it so much and now I know. You can say whatever the heck you like and even if it is never read by a single soul, it is such a relief to get it out of your head. As I work to understand the deeper issues present in my own life and the culture around us, I am thankful for this opportunity to think out loud – well sort of out loud. Thanks to all of you that spent a second to check out my new site. If you look below, you will find my previous posts from the scoop in case you didn’t get a chance to read them before.
