<< The racist attacks on the Makah in
the name of animal rights is an instance of such contemptible politics.

When I decided that whaling was wrong, I did not decide it was wrong, except for native people. I am opposed to all whaling. This is an inappropriate playing of the race card. If I opposed Makah whaling and not white or Japanese whaling, that would be "racist," not opposing ALL whaling. The ethnicity of the killer is of no concern to the whale.
