Can't We All Just Get Along?

Activist says he was shot in confrontation with whalers 2

The captain of the radical anti-whaling Sea Shepherd Conservation Society says he was shot in a clash with Japanese whalers on Friday. Paul Watson says he found a bullet in his Kevlar vest; Japan's fisheries agency disputed the accusation, saying those onboard the whaling ship retaliated with non-lethal flash grenades after activists threw stink bombs of eye-stinging butyric acid onto their boat.

    Fishing nationsThe oriental nations and scandavavian nations are the hogs of the world about fishing just like america is the hog of oil in the world.They won't quit fishing until the ocean is devoid of fish and whales anymore than americans will quit using oil until it is all gone.

    Civilized Humans Are All HogsAnd Indians and Chinese are hogs of the overpopulation world (though the Chinese one-child-family policy seems to have greatly reduced births per capita, so now China has to become a consumer hog like America).  And Americans are hogs of just about everything, as are Canadian, Australians, and western Europeans to a lesser extent.  And almost everyone on Earth wants a car, cell phone, and TV, which hogs things that should never be taken out of the ground in the first place.  It seems that only pre-industrial hunter-gatherers did not hog things.  When a group of humans creates a surplus through agriculture, people can't seem to help themselves.
