: I´m back from Eire where I almost missed Europes biggest fireworks show, and perhaps a free U2-concert :( But besides that it was cool.
: I just walked into the computer-room at my school and found that somebody had printed something out and left it on a table. I looked at it and found out it is about some ppl that want to build a dolphinarium in my country Denmark. It seems their intentions are good, but it is a hazardous business. They want it to be for research and for therapy, but they also want it to be possible for normal ppl to swim with dolphins. Dolphins that have too much contact with humans can get depressions and similar things, therefore this could be bad. I don´t mind that for example ppl suffering from Down´s syndrome have dolphin therapy, but if ppl are not in need of it, it shouldn´t be done. I have put a link to an english version of the site in the message(tell me what the frontpage-picture made you think of) so you can read about it yourself. I have only just learned of it, I will try to gather some more information about it.
