		<description><![CDATA[The killing of dolphins and whales is not a matter of national sovereignty, any more than human rights are a state-by-state issue.  This is a HUMAN behavior; humans are doing these killings, so it is up to we humans to police ourselves, regardless of what nationality those humans may give themselves.]]></description>

Often this meant putting off our jobs, the way we make a living, because the events in the world were simply too important to put off.

		<description><![CDATA[... if we were just to eat the grain ourselves instead, we'd have 5-8 times as much food, and no animals would suffer, no massive slaughterhouse processing would be necessary, that much less fertilizer and pesticide would be employed... plenty of good reasons not to eat beef.  The same can be said of chickens, only the figure is even higher in favor of not eating their flesh.  Indeed, the damage done by the production of animals for our consumption is significant, and it's getting into our water table.  Even if one has no problem with causing another living being to be killed so that one can enjoy a taste for a few seconds, there remain plenty of reasons to support vegetarian practices...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Suggestions that it is Evaporating are fanciful at best.  Solvents are an oil-based product.  They don't just "evaporate" and disappear.  Even those aspects which can become airborne don't disappear. They pollute our air instead of our water... Some two MILLION gallons of Corexit have been dumped into the ocean by BP.  Given its propensity to spread ahead of the oil itself, there's little doubt that it is "dispersing" into other areas than the Gulf.  The good part is that doing so will reduce the concentration.  The bad part is that concentrations far lower than 2.6 ppm are likely to prove harmful and even lethal to marine life over a long period of time.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[it's 3-4 times more toxic than the oil itself, makes the oil more effectively toxic by causing the oil to have a larger area exposed to ocean water, and because IT IS ILLEGAL TO USE IT AS IT HAS BEEN EMPLOYED UNDERWATER... If you are involved in or witness an environmental emergency that presents a sudden threat to public health, you must call the National Response Center at: 1-800-424-8802...  since there is no knowledge of the effects and impacts of releasing solvents under 5000 feet of water 50 miles offshore, there is no way that BP could have been issued a lawful permit to do so.]]></description>
