]]> Comment on New Book – “Change of Heart” by Nick Cooney by Barbara Ann Todd http://libnow.org/2010/08/new-book-change-of-heart-by-nick-cooney/comment-page-1/#comment-4863 Barbara Ann Todd Thu, 24 Feb 2011 17:24:53 +0000 http://libnow.org/?p=1311#comment-4863 Humor is a way to get beyond the relativity in advocy communication. Whenever ANY drama or ego (ie graphic images) is used in advocacy communication, the problem of relativity arises, ie the "Yes, but...(insert anything that, in one's subjective opinion, is a more pressing issue,) ie "I have to survive", "______"(ieinsert war, famine, capital punishment, etc.,) is MORE urgent". With humor, especially if the humor is one of surprize, and reaches the listeners mind, heart, soul, etc., emotionally, intuitively, instinctually, ie without any abstraction(ie without any limitations of ego and/or drama) then there is an AUTOMATIC response, ie of laughter and this bypasses the subjective relativizing and opinionating. A subliminal "seed" and maybe an absolute "seed" is planted, that can be developed. Otherwise instead of being communication at all, the language is part of the problem- of the numbness of maintaining the status quo that is mistaken for authentic empathetic living.

I'd just note that John Sorenson's book is not the first one on the animal rights movement in Canada. One other I'm aware of is Blood Relations by Charlotte Montgomery, published in 2000. Great list!
