While the gun nuts are busy equating any attempt at better regulating firearms to an attempt to ban all guns, I have been busy pondering the most absurd reasons for folks to own firearms or an unnecessary type or amount of firearms.

Is it reasonable to want to be able to hunt? Sure. But do you want me to believe that it's necessary to have 30 bullets to kill 1 animal?

Is it reasonable to want to be able to defend yourself? Sure, but you don't need enough firepower to blow the ass off of a small country to do it. And it is worth considering that your guns that are intended for "defense" are more likely to result in your death or the death of your family members than to ever "defend" anyone or anything.

I don't really want to get into the folks that have guns because they think there will be an apocalypse or a world financial collapse or some other scenario resulting in the collapse of our civilization. If things are bad enough that everyone and their brother needs to walk around with an assault rifle then I think I would prefer not to survive the apocalypse.

Follow me across the jump for my new thoughts.

We witnessed violence against peaceful protesters. First it was in New York. It was shocking, but New York might as well be another country from where I am sitting. Once it happened in California I started to pay extra close attention. After the brutal attack on Scott Olsen and other abuses against the people of California I had to act by contacting the state Attorney General's office. Follow me across the jump to see how it came to this, and for the response I received.

Yesterday I wrote about the harsh police actions against the occupiers- as well as the aftermath. The situation continues to develop, and the civic center has been reoccupied. Follow me across the jump for an update and my take on why this is relevant.

Last night, occupy San Diego was raided at both the civic center(the main site of the demonstration), and at children's park. There was some small mention of this in the local news. They are crafting a false narrative along the lines of, "unlawful homeless protesters clash with police!" I had to go to the civic center to try and find out what had actually occurred. Follow me across the jump for a report + analysis.

Over the last several days, I have been writing a series of diaries on the slaughter of dolphins in Taiji. Japan. The same town now known for the infamous killing cove as depicted in the film The Cove. Follow me after the jump for an update on the dolphins.

Yesterday, I wrote that 50-60 dolphins were about to be killed in Taiji, Japan. Now, today is Worldwide Anti-Whaling Day, where protests are being held outside Japanese embassies and consulates around the world against the killing of whales and dolphins. I may have been wrong about the dolphins in Taiji in that the reality could be much worse. Follow me after the jump.

At this time there are approximately 50-60 dolphins(bottlenose dolphins or spotted dolphins most likely) once again being held in the infamous killing cove in Taiji, Japan. They will likely be killed at dawn in Japan. Only hours from now. Please follow me past the jump to help the dolphins.

The so called "fishermen" of Taiji, Japan, now known to the world due to The Cove currently are holding a very large pod of bottlenose dolphins and a smaller pod of risso's dolphins. The combined total is about 50-60 dolphins.

Today I went down to Mission Bay in San Diego, CA to fish from a surfboard. Today was especially enjoyable. Not because I caught anything, but because I saw the greatest fishermen in the world at work, dolphins. Follow me after the jump as I recall my "encounter" with wild dolphins with pictures and video below.
