Tunisians protesting

Tunisians are protesting after uniformed thugs beat a prisoner to death.

The prisoner was accused of selling illegal drugs. Repression of drug dealers is a bad solution to a gratuitous problem created by prohibition of drugs. The best way to handle drugs that can harm their users is to legalize the drugs and regulate them so that fewer people will use them.

We must protect marine areas

lundi 14 juin 2021 à 02:00

Deep sea explorer Sylvia Earle: we must "protect marine areas and stop eating tuna."

She may be right regarding people in wealthy countries that most seafood we eat is a luxury. But not in poor countries. I've read that around a billion people around the world depend on seafood for their sustenance.

Of course, most of them are not eating expensive tuna. They are eating whatever they can catch near where they live. The people who eat canned herring are not splurging.

I don't want to rush to stop eating tuna in sushi, especially since I only rarely have sushi at all. But I endorse firm measures to end the practice of fishing for tuna, and all forms of overfishing, non sustainable fishing, and ecosystem-damaging fishing.

In some places, "sushi" usually means tuna and salmon only. Other kinds of fish may not even be available. I suggest that people try the other kinds of fish, aside from tuna and salmon, to discover how delicious they are.
