"Fighting the world wide web of wicked wrong doers."

Welcome. The aim of this site is simple - to rail against the slow, but steady chipping away of traditonal American values by a host of groups & individuals bent on destroying them.

Ya just keep opening yourself up to criticism by not checking deeper into the subjects you post about.

Dolphins are great. Bio-diversity is great. What our President, George Bush, is doing to these is not.

SAVE THE DOLPHIN-SAFE TUNA LABEL!

The Dolphin-Safe Tuna Program
and Ocean Wildlife Are Under Attack

The Bush Administration is trying to weaken the definition of the dolphin-safe label on tuna cans and pouches despite broad bipartisan public support for the program. The proposed changes to this successful program would allow tuna caught using the harmful practice of chasing and setting nets on dolphins to be labeled "dolphin-safe." This policy has the potential to devastate dolphin populations, especially three dolphin populations in the Eastern Pacific -- the northeastern offshore spotted, the eastern spinner, and the coastal spotted – which have all seen their numbers plummet as a result of dolphin-deadly fishing practices.

Other Marine Wildlife Is In Jeopardy!

Scientists worldwide recognize that large-scale industrial fishing techniques -- such as purse-seining, longlining, and drift-netting -- are devastating our oceans and the countless wildlife species that live within them. Dolphins, endangered sea turtles, sharks, sea birds and other marine wildlife are all falling victim to the nets and lines of tuna fishermen and the pressure of overfishing, especially in the Pacific Ocean.

Sea turtles in Trouble: Sea turtles, abundant throughout the world's oceans for millennia, are being killed when they become entangled in fishing gear or caught as bycatch in fishing nets. All eight of the world's sea turtle species are now listed as threatened with extinction. Within the last decade, the Eastern Pacific populations of the critically endangered leatherback turtle have declined by 78%.

Sharks in Danger: Sharks, due to their low birth rate, slow maturation and growth patterns, and naturally small populations, are extremely vulnerable to pressures from fisheries and human exploitation. Pacific populations of Angel Sharks, Lemon Sharks, and Blue Sharks, to name a few, are all facing grave dangers from overfishing practices.

We need your help in convincing the Bush Administration to finally demonstrate leadership position on the management of our oceans at the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission and elsewhere. We cannot sit by passively as our dolphin-safe tuna label is rendered meaningless and our ocean resources are destroyed by overfishing. Send a Free E-mail now to Secretary of State Colin Powell and to Dr. William Hogarth, Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service. And please tell your friends about this imminent threat to these magnificent marine mammals!

Because you are hopelessly insane I will forgo responding to your comment. (Why don't ya slit your wrist then take a nice swim in the Pacific Ocean?)
