The Brits are coming....the Brits are coming

First it was the lovely 'Sunita' from 'Coronation Street'. For the last five years a star from that popular show has been invited to Halifax for a get together with excited fans... http://www.herald.ns.ca/Search/487365.html and now Sir Paul is the latest celebrity to come here to beat up on the fishermen who harvest seals on our coasts. http://www.hfxnews.ca/ He'll have to be careful though. A couple of years ago Martin Sheen did the same thing and almost met his own Apocalypse on Quebec's Iles de la Madeleine. An angry mob surrounded his hotel, and Sheen beat a hasty retreat on his helicopter after police were called in to protect him. English superstars don't carry the same weight in French Quebec.		 Don

Maritime resources and ecology.

It's a sticky subject. We all share the same planet, but who has a greater investment in decisions about the use of local maritime resources than the people who live in a region? Who will suffer the most from foolish waste or unwise management? To a degree, it's important to respect local control and customs, but it gets really confusing when the remaining resource for the entire world is in one small location...

The seals kill off a lot of fish, so the humans kill the seals so the humans can kill the fish instead... But to live, any animal must consume other living things. Lots of complex issues here.

Darn glad to see the ecology of Britain in such good shape that Sir Paul can now start on the rest of the planet.

Funniest line in the story: The 18-year old kid who asked "Paul Who?..Sounds vaguely familiar..." Fame and stardom are *so* fleeting.

Let's hope Sir Paul doesn't try to hand feed one of the cute helpless harmless little harbour seals. He may find out the hard way why they are called loup marins (sea wolves) in french. OTOH he hasn't produced much music worth listening to in recent years so if he gets his hand bit off it's no great loss to the world.

It's more important to be seen and heard than actually have a cause. Shortwave

No wonder you're so grumpy all the time. Call up your cable station and insist that they carry Coronation Street. It might do you good to get away from all the shootin' & killin' on 'merican TV. http://www.itv.com/page.asp?partid=91 Don

If there ain't no baseball, football or auto racin' on thet thar TV, I ain't watching it.

Ok, a couple of exceptions - I watch Simpson reruns in the evening and occasionally Discovery or History channel.
