The shark video

[Rum-polephoreskin]

Marley,
I knew I could count on you.
I almost PM'd you on this.
I wish Gerryg would put his pragmatic 2 cents in.

Regardless, Marley you said pretty much what I hoped you would say.
I too thought it was a sad video.

Maybe I'll push the envelope here: I thought it was prejudice run amok.

Sorry about the bad dreams Clarity.
I look at it this way, there are sharks in the oceans.
Just because we don't see sharks doesn't mean they aren't there.
Hell there are giant squids too, and they may be as smart as us.
The west end road is ten times more dangerous than the ocean and yet we don't think twice about walking that road.

I'm scared of sharks but it won't keep me out the ocean anymore that the fear of being squashed by a car will keep me from walking the road.
Mathematically the odds against me on the road are much higher than the odds against me in the sea.

Oh well, I just hate seeing an animal killed for no other reason than it's there.
