1rst re Alice in Wonderland & C. Panda Bubba -- Then why I "seem" on the fence...

I will be updating this "page" or "fraction of a page" or whatever...throughout this day & night.

It is "semantics"!:
C. Panda Bear Bubba is speaking
beind more "literal" verbiage and & Alice is speaking in more of the
"figuative" manner, although she knows the literal definition.

Both are correct -- both are wrong, yet I cannot add my reasons and examples since I am working on other Code 3 type of issues.

One thing I will add IS Alice and L.L. were the only ones that understood me and what I was saying or I should say they said I had The Right To Speak! -- ALTHOUGH THEY BOTH AGREE MORE WITH THIS BLOG's overall view.

I LOVE Obama -- I LOVE the way he signed into litigation IMMEDIATELY to "take action" this day {earlier my morning}
I love the way he showed strength but "wearing a velvet glove".

I am working on several projects -- HE RALLIED THE TROUPS. I feel my 40 plus years {remember I started as a very young teen} are now completed. I can focus on on other issues. The forces of youth can do now The Work. I really mean that for there are ALSO Non-Human Issues -- STILL SACRED.

But But BUT he did nothing for immediate actions, to stop whale slaughter, WOLF Slaughter, and so much more.

This America now has wonderfull HOPE for HUMANITY ...
but nothing for the Wild, Wolves, and Whales, and sooo much more pertaining to the aforemention "ENDANGERED" Animals.

Appears so!I just got this alert and haven't had time to follow up on the realitiesof THIS new mess. Anyone in the local area or keeping track through news down in the region--- if you see any news outlets following up on THIS one? PLEASE EMAIL IT TO ME!thanks everyone!bluejayTVA Coal Ash Spills Keep Cominghttp://switchboard. nrdc. org/blogs/rperks/tva_coal_ash_spills_keep_comin. htmlJanuary 9, 2009On the heels of another coal ash spill this morning at a TVA plant inAlabama comes word of a second waste pond rupture in East Tennessee about60 miles from the Kingston disaster.The Tennessean is reporting that state environmental officials havediscovered "black, foul-smelling" muddy sludge flowing into the OcoeeRiver, world-renowned for whitewater sports and site of Olympiccompetition during the 1996 Atlanta games.Apparently, the TVA had no permits and hadn't coordinated with the stateenvironmental regulators about this particular coal ash "wet" dump.The paper notes the extensive effort over many years to clean the site andthe Ocoee River. Fortunately, no injuries are reported but this latestspill has left dead fish in its wake. The fish population, largely absentfor 100 years, had been starting to flourish in this part of the Ocoee.The story quotes a spokesman with the Tennessee Scenic Rivers Associationsaying that if this dam rupture "had happened during the summer when theriver was full of people that could have been a real disaster."Disaster alright, one after another. Which dam is gonna break next, TVA?

Stop The Horrific Slaughter Of Whales! Whale Death FactsMyspace friends: We really need your help on this issue. Please sign this petition to stop the horrific slaughter of whales. This issue is the most important thing you can do for the whales. Please take the time to read the below information and watch the video.. ( Just click on any of the pics to sign petition ) Thank You...From The Sea Shepherd Support Team...31 countries issued a protest to the Japanese Government, calling on the country to end it's scientific whaling program. But the United States of Amercia was a no show. Ask USA for their support: We will contact: The Honorable Carlos M. Gutierrez, Secretary of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Ave, NW Washington, DC 20230 and/or cgutierrez@doc.gov and Makoto Ishihara - Mr, Kunihiko Koike, and Yuji Igarashi with your vote on this petition. Nippon Suisan, Maruha and Kyokuyo are the Japanese seafood conglomerates who for the past 20 years, even after a global moratorium on the killing of whales, wholeheartedly supported the government of Japan's "scientific" whale hunt by purchasing, canning and selling whale products. 18 months ago, after letter writing efforts from supporters like you, these companies quietly divested their ownership in the Japanese whaling fleet. They now claim they are no longer responsible. These three companies owned and operated the whaling fleet when the Government of Japan announced plans to kill almost 1000 whales including 50 fin whales in an internationally recognized sanctuary, yet they now claim their hands are clean. Please urge the CEOs of these companies and their wholly-owned subsidiaries to tell the Government of Japan the world doesn't need to kill whales in the twenty-first century to study them.CLICK ON THE PIC AND SIGN THE PETITION. THANK YOU

In signing this petition, your name will be on the following letter to the individuals belowDear Honorable Carlos M. Gutierrez, Makoto Ishihara - Mr, Kunihiko Koike, and Yuji Igarashi I write to express my grave concern at your company's longstanding involvement in Japanese whaling and to respectfully request you take all possible steps to end Japan's ongoing whaling activities.In response to Japan's escalating whaling program that now threatens to kill fin and humpback whales, Sea Shepherd Support Group recently sent a letter to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Carlos M.Gutierrez, asking him to initiate a process that would allow President Obama to impose trade sanctions against Japan for their large-scale whale hunting in blatant disregard for the international ban on commercial whaling. While Japan's whale hunting is allegedly conducted for scientific purposes, its whaling program is a de facto commercial operation since the meat is sold on the open market.

The United States is in a unique position among IWC member nations, because the Pelly Amendment provides the U.S. government with a legal mechanism to apply economic sanctions against offending countries like Japan. Though the United States has maintained a firm policy against all commercial and scientific whaling, the USA has failed to take a strong stand against it. Tell the USA to step up and place the Pelly Amendment in place.Modern day whaling activities give rise to serious animal welfare concerns. A number of factors inherent in current whaling practices render it unlikely that truly humane standards could ever be achieved. On grounds of animal welfare alone, therefore, all whaling operations should be halted.It is likely that whales suffer more prolonged deaths than the current data suggest, but until a scientifically proven means of determining death in cetaceans is established, individual whales may be declared dead while they are still alive. In some cases, it is possible they may even die while being winched aboard a processing vessel. It is also possible that an individual whale could be paralysed by the harpoon strike and may initiate a physiological dive response, in an attempt to escape this attack. Such an animal would then present as ‘motionless’ and not breathing.Join Sea Shepherd's Support Group Just Click This Graphic...<The methods used by Japan, Iceland and Norway for killing whales are very similar. In each case, whalers use a penthrite grenade harpoon, which is fired from a cannon mounted on the prow of a ship, as the primary killing method. The harpoon is intended to penetrate to about a foot (approx 30cm) into the whale and then detonate, creating sufficient energy to kill the whale either by the trauma or laceration, or by the generation of shock waves, causing trauma to the brain. Upon impact, spring-loaded claws are released by the harpoon and embed in the surrounding flesh when the line comes under tension. If the whalers determine that the first harpoon has not killed the whale, either a second penthrite harpoon is deployed or a rifle (of minimum calibre 9.3mm) is used.When assessing the welfare potential of whale killing methods using accepted principles of humane slaughter, it is clear that current whaling operations have a low welfare potential, and are therefore likely to cause severe pain and suffering to the hunted whales.Recent history indicates that man’s impact upon marine mammals has ranged from what might be termed malign neglect to virtual genocide. These animals including whales, porpoises, seals, sea otters, polar bears, manatees and others, have not only rarely benefited from our interest; they have been shot, blown up, clubbed to death, run down by boats, poisoned and exposed to a multitude of other indignities, all in the interest of profit or recreation, with little or no consideration of the potential impact of these activities on the animal populations involved.(US Congress 1971).

CONCERNS:• The adaptations of cetaceans to the marine environment may have significant implications for their welfare during whaling operations. Adaptations for diving may make it difficult to determine when these animals are dead.• The current IWC criteria for determining death in cetaceans are inadequate.• In many cases, current killing methods are not adequately adapted for the species being killed. Differences between species may greatly increase the margin for error in killing methods and may influence the time to death (TTD) and associated suffering.• There are significant differences in the efficiency reported from different hunts and even the best statistics indicate that at least 20 per cent of whales killed for commercial purposes do not die instantaneously. Furthermore, in a practical whaling situation, instantaneously is likely to equate to at least 45 minutes after the harpoon strike.• Recent data show that, for commercial and scientific whale hunts, the average estimated time to death is well over an hour.• Struck and lost whales represent a significant welfare problem. Struck and lost cetaceans may suffer significantly in both the short- and long-term as a result of exhaustion and their injuries.• Whalers attempting to achieve a fatal shot, either with a harpoon or rifle, often must do so at considerable range, and need to overcome poor visibility, rough sea states and vessel motion. The accuracy of the gunner (or marksmanship) will also impact on the ability to kill a cetacean swiftly.• The exertion imposed on whales during pursuit may fall outside the species’ adaptive range. Pursuit during whaling activities has the potential to induce stress, which may manifest as a series of lethal and sub-lethal pathologies. The effects of pursuit may also be significant for cetaceans that are struck and eventually killed as well as for those that evade capture.We are the #1 support team for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is the most aggressive and most successful Whale-Saving organization in the world. Saving whales is what the SSCS do best and what they are most noted for. The approach has been simple and straight forward.In 1977, Sea Shepherd was established by Captain Paul Watson as an organization to intervene and uphold international conservation regulations protecting marine wildlife. We do not protest whaling - we oppose illegal whaling activities.Our opposition are criminals engaged in illegal behavior.Welcome AboardJoin Sea Shepherd's Support Group Just Click This Graphic...
