Yes, we do know that fish stocks are being depleted. It’s much more well understood than CO2 levels.

I don’t accept these statements blindly. This is not news for anyone who has been paying attention over the last thirty years. The decline of fish stocks has been widely reported from multiple sources, and is fully consistent with increased mechanisation of fisheries. We are fishing in deeper waters now to get the same return; there has to be a cost for this.

Ever read John Steinbeck’s ‘Cannery Row’? The Montery Bay sardine industry described in that novel collapsed in the 1950s when the sardines were overfished and the fleets had to move offshore into deeper waters.

New Zealand is fishing Antarctic toothfish now – not a good thing. They’re sold in New York.

What we don’t know is whether the fish will bounce back if we stop fishing. Quite possibly they will. But we have to stop first.

‘No no no’ is a perfectly valid emotional response to such an ecological holocaust. But as a factual counter-argument, it’s lacking content.

QUOTE – “deep ocean fish stocks are still being depleted” –

No, no, no… How do you know? The ocean still hasn’t been explored enough to know. Why do you blindly accept these statements from others?

Boy, you is strange … but quiet, you is not the only stranger on earth …
I started this year to do what you do. Of course, you can write better than I … already does this a few years …. I was always drawing everything he wanted, what I felt, what he thought … But it is easy to draw during childhood and adolescence, I had calluses and I did not care …. While drawing, but now for a living … Well, it seems to me a few things that you write like a daydream … but that’s why we thought was cool … Posta more dreams, I started a blog also counting the dreams I have …. Lately I’ve been saying all kind of dream … crazy dream, a dream that God will alert us, Ephesians 6 has left the routine of my dreams, funny dreams, among many … I ask only one thing … dispel myths … you ever felt pain in a dream? Have you ever awakened from a dream I woke from another dream? Crazy but I had to ask you … Abraço

What am I meant to box on Boxing Day? Santa Claus or presents? I got one Christmas present this year. I got it in July or August. I’ll put it in a box and secure it with a golden ribbon. If any one is curious what it is: Someone prayed for me on the phone. The most precious gift of the year! One of the 7 most precious occasions in a lifetime! Happy Boxing Day, Everybody!

Leaving the cultlane now. As usual, great talking with you. There is a nice Dylan song I just heard for the first time. It’s called: “Lay down your weary tune lay down” It’s on youtube.

3.) I did accept your word for what it teaches. You talked about sin not being real. I kind of understand how you mean it, and I kind of still have a problem with putting things that way. Sorry…………………………………….4.)Yes I did rely on the wikipedia. If that is my crime, you do it all the time.
