It tastes dull, even the tongue eaten raw is boring in taste. Reactionary debates over the the rights of whales/panda/cuddly photogenic endangered species continue detract from the serious pressure inflicted on the earth’s ecosystem as a whole, . Like putting a Save the Rainforest sticker on your SUV back window.
Is it true that culling of minke wales can help increase ocean fish stocks. I don’t know, but if I had a boat I would kill a few just to see if I could increase fish numbers or not.

Life in Greenland continues even when people aren’t watching. They’re getting in trouble now about commercial whaling;

And IA, who are one of the “pro-independence” parties are complaining about Denmark supporting a whale sanctuary in the South (South!) Atlantic

Now that led me thinking. I don’t eat whale meat, I even refused it when offered in Japan. But is there any scientific basis for my refusal or is it just mass hysteria that I picked up in New Zealand?

Mass hysteria about food with no scientific basis? Remind you of anything?

As to what people do up there, Greenland usually wraps up the North America qualification spot at the World Handball Championships without much trouble. Basically because there aren’t any countries in North America big enough to mount a serious challenge.

US Canada Denmark and Russia going to arbitration, to pre-emptively end conflicts on land-claims? How utterly sensible! Can we get that arbitration committee (or the one that worked on the Ecuador-Peru dispute) over to East Asia next, to work out these baekdusan and dokdo quagmires?

Maybe I’ve been banned, maybe it will work better without the internet links.

It probably is the links. Try imbedding them with html tags.

I forgot to mention that Juliane is born and raised in Ilulissat.

Juliane Henningsen is probably the most prominent Greenlandic women I know of. She’s an MP in the Danish parliament.

By the way, in case you were wondering, Julia Ormond is not from Greenland, not even partially.
