Subject: RE: Need help with logo designmdg2003 - 2008-02-28 12:03 PM I'm not suggesting it is right Jim. Whaling had a devastating effect on the species. All I'm saying is let the guy have his heritage. Suggesting he needs to own the whole whaling thing... that reeks of intolerance to me. Throwing the "slavery club" into the mix was just insulting and not necessay. You don't see the parallel? In the south, slavery is part of the heritage as much as whaling was to the northeast. Check it: whaling provided industry; so did slavery. Whaling today is seen as intolerably cruel; as is slavery. Are they so different? Just because a thing is part of your heritage doesn't mean you should celebrate it. Apartheid was part of the culture in South Africa...should that be celebrated? If you're going to glorify something as abomidable as whaling, you should at least not pretend that it was something it wasn't. |
