Great commentary post by you!
Yeah, I ...Hi Amy!<br /><br />Great commentary post by you! <br /><br />Yeah, I was feeling like that too as I went into ready Jeff's entry more and more .. I was thinking like "Umm .. what does all this have to do with the whales?" I dunno. Maybe he found connections but I'd like to see evidence or proof on that .... it was certainly a very different post :-)<br /><br />Yes I have read P. Heller's Whale Warriors! A most excellent book! <br /><br />I look forward to reading your update later! <br /><br />Thank you so much for stopping by and taking time to comment here Amy .. I was wondering if I had lost my readers given my sabbatical for awhile :-) <br /><br />Have a great day!dolphinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818113600435695813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686197684293838878.post-43975850390545351692010-01-10T10:46:03.662-05:002010-01-10T10:46:03.662-05:00Wow. Just read Jeff's post. He raises some ver...Wow. Just read Jeff's post. He raises some very valid points, and then he wanders off into global conspiracy rants which don't really help his credibility to me. He is right that there are other serious threats against whales, and he makes solid points about the money being made in the TV series, but the rest feels like a leap (I could be wrong but that's how it feels).<br /><br />Makes me wonder HOW he asked these questions of Paul Watson and SSCS. IF he brought that attitude, like nothing they could have said would change his mind, I'd have shut him down too. No conversation like that will be fruitful if the parties involved come with minds made up.<br /><br />Have you ever read "Whale Warriors.." by Peter Heller? He's a journalist who went on an Antarctic campaign with SSCS in the season prior to when the TV show started filming. Not a rah rah guy, he approached it very pragmatically, and presented a very interesting view point on the passion of the people on the ship. I came away from the book with deep respect for those passionns - I don't think I could do that - but with a realistic sense, too, of what goes on down there.<br /><br />I'm working up my own blog post in response to the Ady Gil on whalegeek.com. Hoping to have it up tonight or tomorrow. I've found some very good links to stories which are not all rah rah SSCS and offering other perspectives, too.<br /><br />I sincerely hope this is NOT all for some big banker's show; I do feel like that is a bit of a stretch. I don't condone some of the actions on either side of this - real danger is at play. Going to be interesting to see what happens next.<br /><br />Amy<br />whalegeek.comphotomonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07857628341213865981noreply@blogger.com
