Interesting story. I agree WRT your take on orcas. They and dolphins (cetaceans in general) are remarkable animals. I particularly agree about the clear sense of humor that they exhibit from time to time. This alone suggests a higher order of intelligence. They're amazing critters to be around.

If only they had opposable thumbs, things might have turned out very differently. :-)

I am an environmentalist. I'm a charter member in the Cousteau Society. I live on the water and will fight vigorously for the cleanliness of my sound and my beach. But I also understand the difference between real science and junk science.

I agree with you, this is a social agenda, change the way we live, not true science.

Anyone who has experienced Orcas up close knows the incredible experience this provides. We were fishing on the west side of San Juan Island when a pod swam right through the group of 20 or so boats nearby. They were literally right under us, I remember to this day the excitement and awe this generated. Of course no one was not catching a thing, wonder why?

I have also seen them from the ferry and off Lime Kiln Point, truly magnificent creatures.
