I take the call as a gag, but who knows. Rush didn't respond on its merits. He neither ridicules the caller nor takes him seriously.

Haven't looked up Professor Pablo Salazaar.

“There’s a racial component, because as you probably know, the salt in the sea contributes to the buoyancy of it, and as we all know black people tend to be less buoyant that white folks, and it’s gonna result in their being able to enjoy the ocean less.”

I wouldn’t doubt if this is an authentic call one bit, because as everyone knows................EVERYTHING is racist.

Human consumption of sea salt is mice nuts compared to what is harvested for industrial use and water softener consumption.

I use pink Himalayan salt so I’m only adversely affecting WASPs.

Salt is white and pepper is black, isn't that racist too?

And.... all salt is sea salt, and most of it comes from ancient, dried up sea beds.

To the contrary of “taking salt out hurts the ocean”,

the ocean _should be_ pretty much solid salt if all the processes happening today had been happening for beeyyiiillllions of years.

I’m pretty sure the call was a joke.

The obvious solution to the callers concern is to build more desalination plants, that way we will be pumping the resulting brine back into the ocean to replace the salt removed for consumption. The end result is that Gaia will be back in balance, which is more than can be said for the callers mind.

The callers in his, “School soccer is a health catastrophe” gag were all STONE COLD SERIOUS and remained utterly unaware Rush considered all the concern hilarious.

First time I heard it I nearly wet my pants, laughing!

For finishing salt, I am using Maldon Sea Salt Flakes.

Yeah, and where do you think Moon Pies come from, hmm? Ever looked at the surface of the moon? That's where!

And did you ever notice that nobody sells a confection named Uranus?

I remember Rush on Friday inviting people to call in and “give it your best shot” and just “make it up,” make up a story, like Brian Williams. That’s probably what that call was. :-)

He took the call while he was talking about the Brian Williams lying scandal, so I took it as him making the point by being absurd.

Salt, sodium, Na, being a basic element, even if consumed by humans, is not going anywhere. Except, back into the oceans.

I’ve never heard of those.

Need to find some, locally.

I love good salt.
