Nihil, we are all of us descended from aboriginal peoples. To use this as an excuse to revert to barbaric practices is backhanded racism. There is no reason why any ethnic group needs to hunt whales. None! Claiming special privileges for them is akin to making allowances for a child. It is pernicious paternalistic crap.

Aborignal Europeans also hunted whales. Do you think that they should reestablish that tradition?

Some aboriginal tribes practiced cannibalism. Maybe we should reinstitute that quaint custom. I think Jonathan Swift already dealt with that in his A Modest Proposal

Secondly, Native Americans are not native to America, they came here from Asia. And they came to Asia from Africa, as did we all.

Finally, it is difficult to justify this as a cultural reawakening when they plan to use .30 caliber automatic weapons for the hunt. By the way, this little cultural exercise was funded by the US Department of Commerce to the tune of $310,000 not including the Coast Guard to keep Makahs safe during their outing. Our tax dollars at work.

And then you claim For white Americans to define the rights of Native Americans to satisfy their own needs, especially newly discovered environmental needs, smacks of more than hypocrisy -- it smells of theft.

So what do you think, environmental legislation ought to be applied only to people of European descent?

Let's destroy the planet, it's our aboriginal birthright.
