Title: Who is protesting, why they protest, who they protest for...
Post by: wulfie on September 20, 2003, 08:05:39 AM
...and where the $$$ comes from. This is a pretty interesting website:

My favorite quote so far:

"Anarchism has got a really bad rap, like communism"
— Ruckus Society director John Sellers, writing in the New Left Review, July-August 2001

I'd read this site from start to finish. I gurantee you'll be surprised more than once. I have to admit my evil alter-ego would volunteer for the whaling-ship-ramming-pirate fleet of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Of course anything involving piracy, privateering, etc. needs to have a Brit along to be 'proper' when it comes to Naval Violence. Maybe Dowding or Swoop would join me as part of a ships' crew. :)

Here's our Fearless Captain speaking:

"There’s nothing wrong with being a terrorist, as long as you win. Then you write the history."
— Paul Watson, at the Animal Rights 2002 convention

"The fact is that we live in an extremely violent culture, and we all justify violence if it’s for what we believe in."
— Paul Watson, at the Animal Rights 2002 convention

"I’ve known the guy (Watson) for 15 years, and he’s absolutely insane, out of his mind."
— Jim Boland, Greenpeace co-founder

When a guy who protects animals is called insane by a co-founder of Greenpeace - that's serious. :)

At least until some French naval officer decides he's the second coming of de Grasse and rams you.
