You really seem to view my comments through your scewed up lens

ARRELL — 6/14/2007 4:59:44 AM (archived)

lets boil it down for you:

1) Whales seem to be exceptionally smart
2) There is evidence for this claim
3) It is wrong to kill them...

if you want to argue, please restrict it to these points- but honestly this is NOT an issue I feel that strongly about, and I REALLY do not know why YOU feel so strongly about this- I am not mad with you, just very very confused
