Don’t let anyone tell you different: blogging is hard.  Even an opinionated and outspoken individual such as myself has difficulty finding material every day.  That task, however, is made a lot easier when one endeavors to cover the absurdities of the political left.

Be careful next time you’re pulling weeds in your garden, you may just be committing a war crime.  The Swiss government has issued a report on the moral rights claimed by plant life.  Here are some of their findings:

1. Arbitrariness:
The Committee members unanimously consider an arbitrary harm caused to plants to be morally impermissible. This kind of treatment would include, e.g. decapitation of wild flowers at the roadside without rational reason.

2. Instrumentalisation:
For the majority the complete instrumentalisation of plants – as a collective, as a species, or as individuals – requires moral justification.

3. Ownership of plants:
For the majority here too, plants – as a collective, as a species, or as individuals – are excluded for moral reasons from absolute ownership. By this interpretation no one may handle plants entirely according to his/her  own desires. A minority concludes that no limits apply to handling plants insofar as they are property.

Plants are people too!
