[Mostly Water - "Canadian" and International alternative news] "Greenpeace's original approach was confronting corporations and governments at the scenes of their crimes," said savegreenpeace.org co-creator Macdonald Stainsby. "That approach has softened lately, but if they hire Tzeporah Berman, they'll be on the fast track to corporate collaboration, beyond the point of no return," he said.

For the greenie who likes the party's legalize marijauna stance, one thing for sure Gordo will be throwing all his support into Harper's tough new drug laws and do his best to throw ganga users in the slam.

[News Blog] The Sydney Morning Herald Blogs: News Blog: It is necessary,I believe, to separate the various individuals from the decision making processes.The on board staff,would be internationally considered fine sea worthy people.The Bureaucracy involved may have decent people in its ranks,who see the problems about whale eating symptomatic of ecological destruction at home and elsewhere,that may not stop them from being decisive about not whaling.Distributors processors preparers and customers,may be considered decent people,accept if you are totally Whale eating,although that may stop people experiencing these people as that.So the problem is both a cultural problem,maybe, and ,an inability to meld with anti-whaling interests to keep the maximum jobs in place.That is, respect for peoples rights to an income,and Japan has become unsettled by employment insecurity for sometime now.I doubt large numbers of people would lose their jobs if whaling was stopped.Thus there needs to be some view about using the existing vessels and visiting Australia with them.So my approach would be to encourage alternative usage of shipping..like motorcycle tourism into Australia....whilst watching whales and deep sea view on the way to holiday destinations.Which may not mean Australia alone..and traffic of motorcyclists both ways.The Japanese have already invented a form of accomodation where people sleep in cubicles that are sound proof air conditioned and individually secure..but as yet not applied to shipping as far as I know.Encourage Japanese innovation in converting these ships to other usage seems rational reachable and ultimately good common sense.Showing the Japanese what they have already done is to show them ways to innovate.I think in the interim we must also respect our own needs,and that is whaling cannot go on,and accept that it maybe necessary to also cop general criticism from Japan on matters of animal welfare.Garrett is showing a lot of contradictions in his behaviour so far,re ocean or sea related matters..and as yet not measuring up .
