Apparently, New Zealand has joined the ranks of the fundamentalists. It's true, I read it in the paper. Anti-whaling fundamentalists no less. A Japanese minister has condemned us as such, going further to add that we are rude and aggressive when it comes to championing the right of intelligent mammals not to be viciously harpooned by a wealthy nation which is not starving. I like to think of myself as a polite and fairly calm person, generally, but to this I say a resounding "Tough luck!" We are also, according to the same statement, "not acting like friendly country" at the Whaling Commission meetings. Perhaps a friendly country shouldn't fish numerous species to the point of extinction in our territorial waters? Or our economic zone, either.

Sadly, I'm incapable of either. But I'll be renewing my Greenpeace subscription on Monday.
