On this celebration of earth day, President Obama is looking to lift the ban on whale hunting. There are still species of whales out there, that are so dessimated, they may never make a comeback. And if the US lifts the ban on hunting, it is very likely that other countries will follow suit. The environmental group that I belong to...IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare) is asking people to call the white house to ask that this ban on hunting remain. If you are interested...the white house number is...202-456-1111. You can also go onto the website ...ifaw.org. There is a link there that will let you know if your state reps and senators are backing this or not. Hope it is ok to post this. Ever since I had my meeting with the whales ...years ago....all I can say is that there is a lot of wisdom...in those eyes. And, we need to protect them.

Hon.......

I have to say that I am somewhat disillusioned by this...

It's not at all the way I thought things would go when Obama got into office...

I am going to the site after I answer you here and check out my state reps...

This is not what should be happening at all!

Thanks....

I can not say I am surprised by this. Everything this administration has done has been rediculous. I do not want to get into a political debate. I think we should get rid of all the politicians and start over. I am a great lover of nature. All animals and plants. I think whales are truly wonderful creatures. I have gone to the website and will do what I can to help.

I have nothing good to say about him if he is really doing this. I mean really, whales? Hell same thing with sharks, they are endangered already.

I guess he felt the whales had enough of a break from death and wanted to him some good ol' fashioned white whale huntin.

Jean, I agree with you for the most part.

What those who do not lead by example say should be taken with a grain of salt.

The world's governments will not meet their internationally-agreed target of curbing the loss of species and nature by 2010, a major study has confirmed...

...Unep chief scientist Joseph Alcamo added: "Since 1970, we have reduced animal populations by 30%, the area of mangroves and seagrasses by 20% and the coverage of living corals by 40%.

Anna, note, I am not attacking you. I am making a statement.

When someone presents an argument, and makes bold statements, without following up with evidence on where their study is conducted, and how their study is conducted, they hurt their own argument.

I won't take it as an attack because I have no idea what you are talking about. The link to the BBC article is posted, and if you read it, you'll see that the study was conducted by the UN Environment Programme's World Conservation Monitoring Centre (Unep-WCMC) and BirdLife International. Now if the link I presented previously, along with the direct quotes from UNEP chief scientist Joseph Alcamo, aren't good enough, I don't know what are.

So again, I ask, what in the world are you talking about?

Sorry if I missed it or something.

We WILL do SOMETHING.

      Good morning and congratulations @MirandaBon getting your ears pierced. This opens up a new line of jewelry to buy and collect.    @KymmieLits ashamed that any employee would ever to post a sign like this.    Well Parker Von Schwinegruber not only got me up early, we enjoyed our first cup of coffee on the patio before the sun was up. Oh it was daylight but just barely. The second cup of coffee was in the recliner, and now I’m pinned here and need someone to pour my third cup.    It’s a dog’s life… Eat, play, go potty and sleep.

      Trump-linked dark-money group spent $90m on racist and transphobic ads in 2022, records show. Citizens for Sanity was one of top political spenders last election cycle and is back for 2024 with more extreme messaging, https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/17/trump-citizens-sanity-election-ads

      I adore the Bee Gees. There's no way that I could link all their great songs in the above post. To me though, this song of theirs is head and shoulders above everything else:

      Being Bi-gender causes such issues with mirrors

      By Mirrabooka · Posted

      My long hair is the single most important physical feature of my body which confirms the presence of my inner woman.   That said @SS, I am the 'other' sort of bi-gender. I am of the simultaneous type. I do not flip-flop between girl days and boy days either mentally or through presentation. For me, I am both primary genders at the same time, and the compromise is made through an androgynous presentation. When I look in the mirror, I can see either, but I am happy to admit that when I see a woman, I am happier.

      Quite unexpected!   I had my weekly conversation with my father last night and he mentioned something he did that caught me totally off guard.  He was browsing garage sales and came across a nice blond wig, he decided to buy it and his wife was quite perplexed he said.  They had a dinner date with a couple that are friends since high school, and my father went dressed as a woman (with his wife's assistance). He said he did it as a "joke", but spent the entire evening dressed.

      What are you wearing today?

      By Mirrabooka · Posted

      Thank you! So do I! Although I'm proud of what it portrays, I don't wear it often because I think it could be taken as being a bit provocative. One part of me says look at me, I'm proud to be on the rainbow and the other part says pull your head in, you're asking for trouble.   I do have a more subtle pride t-shirt that I visibly wear more often, here is a representation of it: "Moon phase rainbow" V-Neck T-Shirt by secretmagic | Redbubble
