   Interesting how all of the people quoting one another here and
   supporting Norway's war against the whales seem to have Scandinavian
   sounding names. 

Maybe it is because your self-righteous posturing actually affects
people we know directly, and I at least resent misdirected yuppie
guilt being alleviated by tokenistic moralising over an issue so
thoroughly prejudged. 

 I wonder... if one Norwegian died for every
   whale, would they feel the same way?

??? I don't know what you're getting at, would you
feel differently if a human died for every carrot you ate?

   Could identify the "IUCN" for us, please?  (Why would I not
   be surprised to find out it's a whaling group?)

It's an agency of the World Conservation Union, as far as I know
it has nothing to do with whaling per se. Why don't you provide 
your own facts - or are you permanently set in prejudice?

What gives you the right to impose your moral standards on others?

If you want to continue this, take it to talk.env or soc.culture.nordic
 - it was the German "cannibal" who wanted redirects to sci.misc...
