I know when I am being harassed. It seems to me that Japan is pulling some strings around here.

The certificates required for a commercial vessel cannot be issued by Canada to a yacht.
guys honor puppy shooting
These guys are so gentle, it's like shooting a puppy dog. I don't see how there's any honor in that.
unlawful activity
We go after unlawful activities.
sharks years sea
The shark is the apex predator in the sea. Sharks have molded evolution for 450 million years. All fish species that are prey to the sharks have had their behavior, their speed, their camouflage, their defense mechanisms molded by the shark.

Earthworms are far more valuable than people.
fishing would-be chance
The Polynesians used to have a system where they proclaimed a fishing area as 'taboo.' If any fisherman was caught fishing in a taboo area, they would be killed. The Polynesians understood that the fish had to be given a chance to recover.
effort situation ifs
If you do not intend to kill anybody, if you make every effort to not kill and injure anybody, that's all you really can do. You can't stop somebody from walking into a situation, and we really can't be too overly preoccupied with this.

air wind sea
We need to stop burning fossil fuels and utilize only wind, water, and solar power with all generation of power coming from individual or small community units like windmills, waterwheels, and solar panels. Sea transportation should be by sail...Air transportation should be by solar powered blimps when air transportation is necessary.

It doesn't matter what is true; it only matters what people believe is true... You are what the media define you to be. [Greenpeace] became a myth and a myth-generating machine.

I reject the idea that humans are superior to other life forms. . . Man is just an ape with an overly developed sense of superiority.
gun nature-love
You can't love nature with a gun

I got the impression that instead of going out to shoot birds, I should go out and shoot the kids who shoot birds.
