The scandalous life and chronicles of Christian BS
That may be a slight overstatement.

Why do I like photography?
Asked by christian-bs
Because for the brief time between seeing the image preview directly after taking it, and pressing the shutter button for the next photograph, I am under the delusion that I am capable of expressing emotion through a creative medium, if nothing else.

Charm is the great English blight. It does not exist outside these damp islands. It spots and kills anything it touches. It kills love, it kills art; I greatly fear, my dear Charles, it has killed you.Anthony Blanche (Brideshead Reivisited)

PeTA wants to bring you a world where you cannot take your children to the zoo or the aquarium, a world where you don’t have the choice whether you want to eat a cheeseburger versus a veggie burger, a world where you can’t wear a silk necktie or a wool sweater, a world where if you have cancer or AIDS, there simply isn’t any meaningful research going on to help you.David Martosko, Director of Research at the CCF, talking about PeTA.

I am writing this entry in a rather discontinuous fashion to what I have promised in my previous entry. Rest assured however, that the series on PeTA, their flaws, their hypocrisy, and trickery, shall continue; I daren’t let you all down for fear of what it is that you may wreak upon me!
Unfortunately, examination revision has become something of a time-filler, meaning that my blog entry writing has been put in a box, so to speak.
I just wished, however, to share with you my thought:
Why is it that vegans see fit to enforce (sometimes violently or cruelly) their views and beliefs upon others, yet omnivores take no action back? I say that we round up these vegans (only the ones who have partaken in these actions, mind you) and inject them with test drugs. After all, they seem so keen to stop their beloved rats and other pests from dying at the hands of the “evil scientists” as they would have them branded.
I do not normally support the ideology of a tooth for a tooth, and eye for an eye, but these people, arguing on such unbelievably senseless grounds, ignoring the fact that they owe their very existence to ancestors who would have worn fur and eaten meat to survive, in my opinion renders them not only arrogant, self-centred, and intolerant, but ignorant too; possibly the worst quality of all those listed.
On that rather flat note, I end today’s brief interlude. I would like to take this chance to apologise for how horrifically out of tune it was, and to assure you that I shall have the pianist shot.
Sincerely,
Christian BS

I took this photograph quite recently (24th March), on a school trip to The Natural History Museum. This lantern is in the grand atrium to the left of the Statue of Charles Darwin at the top of the first flight of stairs.
