Argue Against Your Own Position...

Have you ever seen The Cove? It is one of those movies I guarantee you have heard of, even if you haven't seen it.

Recognize it?

If that didn't spark any ideas, I guess I'll just give it away:

It's that dolphin killing documentary filmed in Japan. I 100% support the efforts of the people trying to get these killings stopped. I feel like it would indeed take a global effort to expose and ultimately put an end to it. But... for the sake of this Blog...

Who are we to spearhead that movement? Who is anyone? Japan is a completely different culture. They have been whaling since the 12th century. They eat the dolphins. They put it in highly prized and valued sushi. What right do we have to come into their culture and not only tell them they are wrong, but that they can't do something. We don't eat dolphin. They do. We're different.

What if the Hindu community of a foreign nation decided to launch a huge investigation of how cows are treated during the slaughter process. Then after the investigation, the crucify Americans and make them out to be these tyrants because they like hamburgers. 

I mean, its not like the Japanese are cruel in their slaughter. It's not like they massacre the dolphins with spears while riding a river of blood.

Wait a minute...

Oh... that was a river of blood? Uhh...

Uhh...

...

Damn.

On a more serious note, check out The Cove Trailer.

It's a great documentary.
