NO more off shore drilling.
I do not like what is occurring in Japan with killing the dolphins.
At the same time US keeps drilling and killing the OCEANS with oil.

It's funny how people still think "pulling" something from exhibition is a good way to stop it. Films that are protested, films that are banned, films that are pulled from showing, guess what always happens? If you read the book "The Ghastly One" about Andy Milligan, it details how even in the late sixties there were exploitation producers who would purposely call the cops or arrange false protests against their own pictures. And they made a fortune because it would always result in more people going to see it. It's truly wonderful when a deserving picture, be it "The Cove" or "Life of Brian," gets more attention due to the attempts to suppress it.
