Glenn, This reminds me of the Dr. Seuss book, "The Lorax". In time after the whales are gone what will their politically savvy be worth? Unfortunately there are no Whale seeds from which we can imagine a happy ending. I wonder if they will feel any regret at all; I think not. I am amazed that they can hunt 1000 whales per year and not destroy the entire species. Folks have become so efficient that hunting the very large mammals for profit is no longer reasonable in this day and age. Its one thing if your talking about Eskimos in row boats but its another if youre talking about large businessÂs using state of the art equipment. Greg

I think Easter and Christmas are so similar in that it's a holiday and the "reason for the season" is forgotten. It's spring, and renewal and forgiveness and mainly HOPE and a time for families to come together. And then Obama says "this is not a Christian nation." Wow.
