And Now For Something Completely Different: In Defense Of Dolphins

When I established this blog, two issues seemed equally urgent: to make this place a celebration of the callings of my mind, body and spirit with respect to my rare but not singular sexuality, but also -- and more importantly -- to advocate and humbly attempt to perhaps educate others regarding the beautiful, brilliant dolphins and cetaceans in general.  If I am to express the full breadth and depth of my heart and soul here, it is imperative that I share many of the reasons I feel such a strong connection with and passion for the rights of these exquisite and exceptional creatures.  To convey my learnings and beliefs in this arena, I will be sharing and reflecting on the works and words of respected academics, researchers and wise souls who have dedicated their lives to understanding and advocating for cetaceans.  I hope you will stay with me and learn something and share this knowledge with others.  Dolphins and whales are our marine counterparts -- and while it may threaten or otherwise repel many people, I personally believe that they are our superiors.  May we all come to know, love and respect them as the autonomous, individual, self-aware and complex nonhuman persons they so clearly are, and make theirs a better, freer and safer world.  In doing so, we celebrate not only the richness and diversity of other intelligent beings, but we also bless and advance ourselves in the process.

I have also added an RSS News Feed to this blog for dolphin, whale and cetacean news.
