I have been mulling over the whole website thing with regards to VARI, and decided that the gmail website really isn’t worth my, or anyone else’s for that matter, time. So, what is going to happen is this blog.
The point of the blog is simple: to talk about animal rights issues, but more specifically, the readings that we cover in meetings every week. What is great about the blog format is that not only can regular VARI members post questions and comments, but so can people who cannot make meetings or are not even in Kingston. Maybe this blog will become even more active than our meetings, which can only be a good thing.
Unlike the previous website, I am not going to be posting very much news or any other AR related articles (though this doesn’t mean that others are not welcome to post) save the readings and noteworthy pieces directly relating to them. This way it saves everyone time and energy and allows us to focus on what is important: thoughtful discussion of animal rights issues.
We haven’t yet set a date for our first meeting, nor have we even decided what we are going to do at the first meeting. I suspect that some of us will poster soon (once the poster is made, anyone?) and that a gathering will commence sometime early next week and we will simply have a meet and greet orientation type thing. If anyone has a preferred time to meet just send an email over the list (vari@lists.riseup.net), it looks as though Tuesday is a good night, but who knows.
Finally, if anyone has any suggestions about what to do for this year or what readings were good/bad just post some comments.
See everyone soon,
Peter
