“Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth."

I mean there are so many layers to the cruelty here it is despicable. Do you have any idea - this retirement plan which is posted and in such detail... is anyone listening? I'll do what i'm sure you have done and call / email every single contact on there but man... utterly heartbreaking. * * * On a lighter note... love is blind. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ocks-wild.html

The United States will support proposals at CoP16 to restrict unsustainable levels of international trade on manta rays and five shark species--porbeagle, scalloped hammerhead, great hammerhead, smooth hammerhead, and oceanic whitetip. Populations of the five shark species are declining because of demand for fins for food products such as soup and medicine, while manta rays are being overharvested to meet demand for their gill plates.

For anyone who is so inclined... petition to ask HIlton to stop serving shark fin soup in their Far East restaurants (their Dept. of Corporate Responsibility is currently rewiewing the issue).

Thanks for the link to the petition!
The east coast is (finally) catching up with the ban. Unfortunately VA (aka dumbest state evah) introduced a bill last year banning the sale and possession of shark fin, but it never made it out of committee. I wrote the sponsor of that bill to see if he would reintroduce the bill and never heard back from him... Maryland has an active bill for this legislative section and a search of other states can be performed here if anyone is interested in writing in their support: http://www.bornfreeusa.org/b4_legislation.php
