The farm animals of today have been bred for thousands of years to live in symbiosis with humans, they certainly would not survive in Vermont's climate in the wild.<br/><br/>We live with these animals and want the best life for them, I am really interested in your ideas of what the ideal solution would be.]]></description></item><item><title>Gary Falconer comments on European Union: A Clique of Multinationals or a Union of Peoples? by Gaither Stewart</title><author>Gary Falconer</author><pubDate>Wed, 06 Aug 2008 18:28:34 +0000</pubDate><link>http://tantmieux.squarespace.com/cyrano-tant-mieux-articles-old/2008/2/1/european-union-a-clique-of-multinationals-or-a-union-of-peop.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">9536:1865278:comment/1724004</guid><description><![CDATA[A terrific overview of an important moment in history, with memorable quotes all over the place, and I love those captions, like this:<br/><br/>&quot;Irish singer Bono is one of those celebrity naifs who still believe you can influence a ruthless global plutocracy by simply upbraiding them publicly.&quot;<br/><br/>Man, that's the way to talk to power and fame.]]></description></item><item><title>sadi ranson-polizzotti comments on childfree by choice | by jennifer m. best</title><author>sadi ranson-polizzotti</author><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jul 2008 19:16:01 +0000</pubDate><link>http://tantmieux.squarespace.com/cyrano-tant-mieux-articles-old/2008/4/29/childfree-by-choice-by-jennifer-m-best.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">9536:1865278:comment/1617209</guid><description><![CDATA[thanks for the information - i'll pass it on to our contributor, and thanks again for commenting.<br/><br/>s.r.p. | editorial director, the tant mieux project]]></description></item><item><title>JML comments on childfree by choice | by jennifer m. best</title><author>JML</author><pubDate>Fri, 11 Jul 2008 17:42:27 +0000</pubDate><link>http://tantmieux.squarespace.com/cyrano-tant-mieux-articles-old/2008/4/29/childfree-by-choice-by-jennifer-m-best.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">9536:1865278:comment/1612142</guid><description><![CDATA[FYI Bratfree does not discourage women from having children.

There are willing henchmen and prostitutes in every system of exploitation, and O'Reilly and his kind do wonderfully the worse the system gets since they're more urgently needed by their masters...but the time may come to settle accounts with this vermin and we will.

I can't believe he compared himself to 'working class&quot; - and trust me, i grew up blue collar and know damn well what working class is and the difference between lower-class and working-class. Bill, you would fit the former, not the latter. You may have been a blue collar boy at one time but you long ago sold out and unlike Steven Colbert (who you apparently HATE because you had him as a guest on your show and did everything you could to intimidate HIM, including pronouncing the &quot;T&quot; at the end of his name). You see, the thing is, Bill, you miss the point entirely of Colbert - dropping the &quot;t&quot; is just part of the fucking game and he knows it which is why he did it.... duh... Colbert is ten times smarter and nowhere near as pompous because he makes fun of people like you, and you know it because you said to him, &quot;If it were not for me, you wouldn't have a show....&quot;  True... It's baffoons like you that are so mockable that sometimes we wonder why bother, but then, it's just too much fun and god knows you have us all backward.<br/><br/>Latte sipping liberals?  Please... where do you buy your coffee, Bill. I'm sure i'd see you in line at some Starbucks.  Nobody truly revolutionary likes big business and I don't but I'm not a fucking hypocrite --- I actually DO visit starbucks and i sit down to use their WiFi to write about people like you, as did this writer (tho likely from elsewhere)....<br/><br/>Enjoy that with your Chai Latte and leave the rest of us alone.  If you don't believe in real revolution, then you know nothing. You think we're all out there in the woods with Al Gore watching owls, you gottta another thing coming...<br/><br/>Heleina<br/>boston]]></description></item><item><title>sadi ranson-polizzotti comments on I, feminist - by jennifer best</title><author>sadi ranson-polizzotti</author><pubDate>Sat, 09 Feb 2008 20:03:17 +0000</pubDate><link>http://tantmieux.squarespace.com/cyrano-tant-mieux-articles-old/2008/2/9/i-feminist-by-jennifer-best.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">9536:1865278:comment/1287211</guid><description><![CDATA[this is honest and incisive and a clear look into how a woman feels, clearly, but how society tries to tell a woman HOW to feel and WHAT to do - you've expressed that extremely well here -- a rotten valentine's day, after all that, but then perhaps it is a made-up Hallmark holiday after all - i don't know the history of Valentine's Day, although I will be looking it up very shortly.<br/><br/>Keep writing.<br/><br/>s.r.p.]]></description></item><item><title>gf comments on a fish out of water | mitt romney - the wanna be president</title><author>gf</author><pubDate>Wed, 06 Feb 2008 23:21:27 +0000</pubDate><link>http://tantmieux.squarespace.com/cyrano-tant-mieux-articles-old/2008/2/5/a-fish-out-of-water-mitt-romney-the-wanna-be-president.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">9536:1865278:comment/1281634</guid><description><![CDATA[We all enjoy a small moment of pleasure when we see a religious cultist taken to task.
