3. "The Cove" is one of five movies available in Google's pilot rental program
That's a good plug. Hopefully the outrage continues.

4. There has to be a "Sea Shepherd" for the Dolphins as well as the whales..
I am dumbfounded by this insanity.

5. It's very Rove-like how they use the dolphin's strengths to kill them.

They know that a dolphin cannot resist the distress call of another dolphin (or a human, for that matter) . Nor will they abandon one another.

I hate to use the word evil, but...

12. No, I didn't
but would have loved to! Watson is a really good speaker and I always learn new facts listening to him. There are some really good YouTube videos of him giving talks and interviews. :)

13. I watched the show on ...Animal Planet or Natl Geo channel...It was amazing.
I did see a video of him discussing his leaving of Greenpeace and forming Sea Shepherd. He is a true hero..a very courageous and dedicated man. I am in awe of him and what he does and those that help him do it.
