Question

6．Whale Wars
    As I was looking through the channels I came upon something called Whale Wars．What a bunch of stupid people．I really don't believe these people are thinking straight．I know they are not thinking straight because one of the questions the captain asks of all new members or those who want to be members is this：Are you willing to die for a whale？One more time，just in ease you were not paying attention．Are you willing to die for a whale？No，I am not willing to die for a whale-are yon crazy？I don't mind jumping in there to help out on a cause，but to die for a whale or even any kind of animal is beyond my understanding．These people believe strongly enough in this cause to say"Yes，yes，I will die for a whale"．The countries involved in the whaling industry do this because it is a way to make a living and support their families．The last thing they need is to have a bunch of stupid people trying to disable their ship．
    A lot of the organizations out there say that whaling has to be stopped immediately without question．However，disabling these fishing boats will only stop the so-called problem temporarily．
  The point is this：It is so very easy for people to say stop the whaling!OK，you stop the whaling．What is your answer for an alternative to whaling？I'm waiting．How do you want these people to support their families and help fuel the economy in which they live？A lot of people want the whaling to stop，but they have little or nothing to offer as an alternative for them．You cannot just say stop something and then that is the end of the problem．
  Yes，I am picking on the"save the planet"people again．I will continue to do so until they can come up with better ideas on how to save the planet without putting people and what they own in harm's way．Destroying another person's things and putting them in a possible life or death situation is not the answer．
  Until whaling countries can figure something else out to cure this so-called problem，there really isn't a lot that can be done．Until this happens，I say raise the anchor，set the main sail and WHALE AWAY!
