Happy Tail

I apologize for my angry rant yesterday. I have nothing against Jewish transvestites, I just was making a point about how ridiculous and particular some democrats are. You have to be so careful not to step on any one's toes that you can't gain anymore progress.  I just have a general disdain for most of our "law-makers".

On a happier note.  I just saw the film with the boater that came upon a humpback whale and got in the water with it because it was dying.  They realized that it was caught in a net and they freed it with a tiny knife over the course of an hour or two.  (somehow they had a camera filming this!) 

Anyway when the whale was free, it breached the surface at least 40 times.  The only possible explanation for this was sheer gratitude for the people that freed him from the net.  I have been to Alaska and followed some humpback whales. They typically don't breech very often- not alone 40 times within a short period of time.  Maybe humans aren't the only animals that can express their feelings.

I absolutely don't believe in the the right to human dominion over the earth. That is the the kind of thinking that will take us to the place where most of the organisms that have ever lived on this planet have gone- extinction!  I also am optimistic and I believe that we have the smarts to avoid this catastrophe.  The tail of a whale can teach us a very important lesson.  Humans can't survive on this big blue marble alone.  In fact- we can't even survive without bacteria. 

So dumb asses in congress- the next time you want to pass a bill that prevents the exposure of endangered species, attached to a "solution" to the "debt ceiling"- please think my of  humpback whale story!
