Also, if you were a young Makah living up at Neah Bay,
where mainly the only thing to do is watch it rain

I'm not too sure that the canoe was towed out to the
killing site, I had heard that the rowers were strong

I was starting to get kinda angry when I heard that
the whale was killed--then I saw the evening newspaper

against the Makah just drained out of me when I saw
the photo of these emotionally wrought nut cases.
The whales will have their planet back someday, don't
think for a second that humans will still be here
10,000 years from now! No need to cry for the whales!
