I think it is time to organize a SAVE THE WHALES boycott of all
Japanese products until they come to their senses. As soon as TOYOTA and HONDA
feel consumer angst they will pressure Japan to become more civilized!
Also, what is up with Denmark? I can see the other island nations are
on the dole, but WTF with Denmark, maybe it's time to boycott NOKIA! I
find it hilarious that a voting block of an amazingly small portion of world
population can be so flippant about the fate of the largest mammals on
Earth!
