Comment on 103°F in Los Angeles all week

  Hello there.

  Members of Green Peace protested the use of seal fur and meat, the act of “seal clubbing” and the sale of seal products. This was one of the main sustainable economies in the North. As a result, the communities living there were forced to engage in oil drilling and seismic testing in order to earn money. Still, the fact that seal products are no longer profitable have plunged these indigenous and rural populations into poverty.

  The moral of this story is when you see some sort of big moral outrage about something, whether the moral outrage is coming form the left, right, or middle, whether it’s “save the animals,” “save the children,” “save religion,” whatever, you need to do some sort of basic, casual research into what type of bandwagon you’re thoughtlessly jumping on.

    Not sure of the relevance to my argument.

      Members of Green Peace supported, and still support, global warming, even though they don’t know that’s what they’re doing.

        From your story the communities were the ones supporting it. Maybe Green Peace just wanted them to die out?
