Pampered my ass... So long and thanks for all the fish!
What do you guys really expect? I first signed up for this gig because I thought I could make a difference. You know, you stupid humans wouldn’t need my help if you weren’t at war all the freak’n time. My job was to sniff out mines in the ocean. You know how many mines (ocean or no land) are in this world?
60-100 million landmines in the ground worldwide, this remains a rough estimate since few accurate records were kept when mines were deployed. There are 70 land mine incidents a day. Somewhere in the world, a person is injured or killed roughly every 20 minutes by a land mine. Another fact 26,000 people are killed or mutilated by landmines of which 8,000 are children.
Glad I don’t have feet!
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in a final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed-those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending its money alone-it is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."
-Dwight Eisenhower, Speech (1953)
I wanted to help out and make a positive difference in the world, but the shit has hit the fan. Not being human, and being an outside observer, I can speak with authority. Being a dolphin I can say that human leaders are hell bent on destroying. For what reason I don’t know. I don’t buy into this whole blame game thing, who did what first because at any point anyone can rise above the situation and try to stop the insanity. And by insanity I mean the cycle of violence you call life. I can not explain why your culture is so immune to other people’s pain.
I will be around and help where I can, but everyone needs to help and do there part to stop the insanity and increase awareness.
Give Peace a Chance!
Or at least the United Nations
Peace and Enjoy,
