3. Yeah! Sea Shepherd

The power of non-violence works on the sea as well as on land.

9. So all you Sea Shepard bashers, where are you now?

How many DU'ers have I seen over the years bash these brave, committed people, while at the same time doing nothing to stop whaling or feebly donating $10 to weak groups like Greenpeace that don't do shit?

Take a lesson from Sea Shepard everybody: DIRECT ACTION WORKS! And often times, it's the only thing that does.
