Re: Whale Wars?
I saw the previews and decided not to watch it. I didn't like the way they handled their cause.
Okay, okay, dialogue is probably not going to get you anywhere, but two wrongs still will not make a right. In my opinion, using the power of the media by education instead of piracy is better. I would approach it as such: Follow these guys with a camera, show to the world how whales are being hunted, then rally the people to boycott whale products.
Jay, most cosmetics - your girlfriend's lipstick, for instance - contains some form of petroleum by-product or whale fats.
That's why I really really really LOVE Steve Irwin. There was one episode where he was walking the streets of Thailand (I think) and he passed by a street vendor selling komodo dragons. The dragons were put on a leash and was in very poor condition. You don't see Steve Irwin throwing mud at the vendor. You don't even see him insulting, cursing out, or doing anything else of the kind to the vendor. He talked to the vendor (with his camera crew following him) asking him how he got the dragons, what he is doing to take of it, and what he plans to do with it... and then he turns to the camera, explains to everybody the proper way to care for a komodo dragon and then rallies the people by saying that the way to stop these vendors is not to buy from them. Then his wife goes to some facility somewhere where they sold boots, purses, fur coats, etc. etc. and does the exact same thing even showing people what to buy instead. Awesome show. I miss him A LOT. My kids watch Bindi the Jungle Girl religiously.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
