[Walter Scott Hudson]

As the first decade of the 21st century comes to a close, most of us are still looking back at all the nice stuff we found under our Christmas trees on that special morning. Some of us may, on occasion, have been stumped as to what to buy for that dyed-in-the-wool leftist friend or family member who has everything. Another "Che" T-Shirt? Another "mean people suck" bumper sticker? A Link TV coffee mug?

Not to worry, because next year (or for that intervening birthday or High School graduation), you can now get him or her the new Sea Shepard Iphone and Ipod app, an application that allows users to "do their part by staying informed, sharing updates to improve awareness and raise funds, and help ensure our success to end [the] barbaric slaughter [of whales]."

The app's producers, Synappsis Ltd and media 415 (yes, this is crying to be changed to "451", but not to digress) claim the app's purpose is to provide "international breaking news from Sea Shepherd campaigns," "in depth" commentary by Watson et al on environmental issues, access to eco-friendly "She Shepard apparel, accessories, and gifts, and the "ability to donate to help keep their vessels and projects active."

If I see anyone with such paraphanalia, I will regard them as supporters of terrorism and accord due respect as such. Paul Watson is a terrorist, by his own admission. If he meets his demise during one of his high seas “direct actions” (read: acts of terrorism), just as well. He lives by the sword, and eventually he will die by the sword.
