The Cove


Which, as wonderful and peaceful and beautiful as coves generally are, you know with palm trees and lagoons and whatever, this is a documentary about a very ugly truth.

Dolphin hunting. Or should it be called slaughter, since they drive the dolphins into this cove in Japan and kill them. The mothers see their offspring being killed, and the dolphins are killed in a highly inhumane way. This is about a courageous team determined to tell the world about the brutal slaughter of the dolphins. So many dolphins are killed the water turns red with the blood and murky. I cried when I watched it, actually, but then, I'm really sensitive to this kind of thing. It is a really great documentary. So inspiring.

Am I the only one who sometimes can't sleep at night because of everything wrong with the world? Because I'm exhausted right now, but I had to get this off of my chest before I can even think about relaxing. If you were wondering why I pretty much go on a rant of some sort daily, it's because I'll see something during the day, and it won't get out of my head until I pour it out to everyone I know.

It's just that this stuff kills me. It's like nails across a blackboard in it's own way.

I can't decide one issue to focus on. I'll post a bunch of issues, with a bunch of info, and you people choose some too. I can't do this alone, as much as I might wish I could.
