So now that I've been begging you to help
Paul Watson for
three weeks without realizing the link didn't work, maybe
I'd better explain. Or not. Still can't figure out why the
link didn't work. Very confused I am.
so who is he?
Paul Watson is an environmental activist, one of the
original co-founders of Greenpeace, who left Greenpeace to
found the Sea Shepherd Society. He pioneered direct action
in defense of the environment. At the moment, he is in jail
in the Netherlands awaiting extradition to Norway where he
was convicted in absentia of scuttling an illegal
whaling ship and ramming a Norwegian naval ship. Yes, in
absentia, he was not present for the trial. Yes, Norway
purports to be a modern western democracy.
so what?
So make up your own mind. Now that the links at the
bottom of my journal entries and the journal index work (at
least when I try them), click away, read, and form your own
opinion.
