If you care about the exploitation of Dolphins, please hit this poll:

The Cayman Islands are preparing to open a captive-dolphin tourist attraction, so moneyed dimbulbs can pretend they are mermaids. The CI has the best snorkelling & diving already--you can swim in the open ocean with Eagle Rays, sea-turtles, octopus, etc., and most of the water surrounding the islands is officially marine sanctuary. If that's not good enough I don't know what is.

Thank you. Your vote is included Total: 327 votes

There is nothing greater than seeing a beautiful wild animal in it's element. I live off the coast of North Carolina and take great delight in seeing the porpoises just a few hundred feet off the coast...no one here has seen the need to have a captive facility...

6. Thank you thank you thank you --

Dolphins are not indingenous to the CI's waters, which makes the whole exercize seem even creepier for some reason. Seven Mile and Rum Point beaches are teeming with underwater life -- all quite friendly, visible, and awesome to watch, and most can be found in only 3 to 4 feet of water (if you're patient).

7. Something's fishy.

Look at post 3 and then look at the current votes:

This doesn't seem very likely. Someone's playing with the numbers, in my opinion.

Demand category 5 protection for New Orleans and Southern Louisiana!!!

Join me in flooding Washington! Louisiana groups have launched an effort to generate 300,000 e-mails demanding category 5 protection for New Orleans and Southern Louisiana. That means effective levees and flood control projects as well as comprehensive coastal wetlands restoration to give Southern Louisiana a critical storm buffer. Please take a second to help spread the word!
