Greenpeace and others have urged us to write letters about Japanese whaling. Here is a copy of the letter I sent to five newspapers today:
In our best version of ourselves, America has been a light to the
world. Can we now decide to take a different view of the oceans and the
inhabitants of the oceans? Can we become protectors and guardians for
these waters, the greatest source of life, the largest component in the
planetary web of life -- without which we humans cannot live. Let us
call for a stop to Japan's genocidal slaughter of whales. Only
questionable commerce motivates them. There are higher goals we all
must pursue at this critical time. Please ask President Obama to use
his highest level of persuasion to speak for us as caretakers of the
waters of life.
