Slacktivism
There are no magic answers, no miraculous methods to overcome the problems we face, just the familiar ones: honest search for understanding, education, organization, action that raises the cost of state violence for its perpetrators or that lays the basis for institutional change -- and the kind of commitment that will persist despite the temptations of disillusionment, despite many failures and only limited successes, inspired by the hope of a brighter future."... Noam Chomsky

A talking whale

Found this on BBC America today. No, not a circus trick, but a Japanese researcher has managed to train a Beluga to speak.  It can right now speak three 'words'.

That's a really beautiful Beluga. Wonder why Sarah Palin doesn't want or could not want them protected. When will these folks feel some kind of shame and remorse over what they are doing to these animals? Sigh!
