The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State …
As an activist in a completely different issue, I just had to giggle a little when I read the Captain of the Sea Shepherd’s screed. Oh my how familiar this sounds. To be fair, I have no doubt that Paul Watson’s seamanship skills are greater than my own, in that if he has any seamanship … Continue reading “Whale Wars Captain Responds to Critics”
Seems I’m not the first to notice this terrorist promoting series. I am late to the game, as “Whale Wars” is on it’s second season. Neither of us are regular watchers of Animal Planet. Most of the cable we watch are food shows; a devious plot to prevent weight loss. I understand that Steven Irwin’s … Continue reading “More Whale Wars”

Somali Pirates apparently don’t learn easily. They attacked the Maersk Alabama again, but this time things were different: An on-board security team repelled the attack by using evasive maneuvers, small-arms fire and a Long Range Acoustic Device, which can beam earsplitting alarm tones, the fleet said. Vice Adm. Bill Gortney of the U.S. Naval Forces Central … Continue reading “Armed Deterrence”
Much like a train wreck, Bitter and I couldn’t help but watch the Animal Planet series Whale Wars, which looks to me like a celebration of eco-piracy. Bitter and I were rooting for the Japanese, and the ice. What these people are doing is appalling, and Discovery Communications should be ashamed for painting criminals in … Continue reading “Animal Planet Celebrates Piracy”
