Heda--whether or not the Minkes are abundant they have a right to their lives and not be slaughtered. Whalers in the 1800's had no idea what they were doing and neither do the Japanese whalers beyond greed. That the Japanese continue this barbarism is to their shame, not humanity. "Harvesting"…

Business as usual. War will continue in Afghanistan/Pakistan after 7 yrs and NO progress, NO capture of Osama bin Laden (he's dead or might as well be, people!) I can't believe some of the naive comments here, Sweat (sic) irony, indeed. That Gates is a close Bush family friend is…

USA OUT of there NOW! This kind of outrageous murder should be unacceptable to the American people---Where's the protest, the outrage? Apathy about this endless obscene war is insane.
