Open letter to T Fraser Stern...

... should he ever decide to pass this way again.

Fraser,

I seem unable to contact you by any other means so I have to post this here.

Please, could you do me the courtesy of publishing the fact that in my last comment (on your thread relating to the whaling and protesters) I referred to the ICR; the Institute for Cetacean Research.

That organisation is undertaking whale research in the Southern Ocean. That organisation is taking whales (killing them) in the pursuit of that research. That fact they acknowledge and explain in the links I presented.

It is not Sea Shepherd. It is not Greenpeace. It is not any of the other "loonie leftist protest organisations" that you despise.

So, in the interests of truth and completeness I would appreciate your acknowledgement of that fact; that I was linking to a web page of an organisation to which you are not politically opposed.

In the interests of common courtesy, I ask (but in no way expect) that you acknowledge that fact where I am able to see it.

I make no other request.

The probligo.

Probligo, As you may have noticed the comment section to my blog is not functioning at all.

The IRC, while it appears to be a legitimate endeavor, falls into the same envelope as the EPA or the Sierra Club in MY opinion. I give them no credit for being unbiased based on the same criteria the I find with the EPA or the Sierra Club (those two organizations are only an example).

The agenda used by extremist organizations is similar. They appear to work for a better world, save the planet, save the polar bear, save the whales; and yet, from looking up the leadership of such organizations, (the IRC I have not investigated) They are run by ultra leftist anti capitalists, in short they are not without political leanings.

If this is the disclaimer you wanted, there it is. TF

I will figure out a way to restore the comment section though I've been told that all prior comments left while using Haloscan will be lost. Such is life.

[Sigh...]

ICR (Institute for Cetacean Research) IS NOT A PROTEST ORGANISATION.

THE EPA AND SIERRA CLUB WOULD THE ENEMY (if they cared).

THE ICR HOLDS ITSELF OUT AS UNDERTAKING SERIOUS SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH.

THEY ARE THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE TO THOSE ORGANISATIONS WHICH "are run by ultra leftist anti capitalists".

ICR is the organisation that the "ultra leftist anti capitalists" are protesting against.

[Sigh} Deaf mind deaf ears...
