Not necessarily, George. Of course, we can dream...didn't the great John Lennon once sing, "Imagine all the people (or, in this particular case, people and fish) living life in peace"...but we human beings are pragmatic too, and we have to be especially so when considering this potentially explosive issue. If not for our own sake, then for the sake of our children, and the future generations that will follow us and inherit this speck of cosmic dust we call Earth. Let's face it...we humans still catch fish, eviscerate them, and then cook and eat their body parts. Eating a lobster with drawn butter might be an act of indulgent luxury for a human being, but it's an atrocity when viewed through the cold, gelid eyes of a fish. Could anything be more barbaric? Obviously, we humans aren't being deliberately malicious (at least we American humans aren't...I can't speak for the French), but can we blame the fish for their hatred, their rage? Thankfully, they don't have a god they can rally around (unless he's the Creature From the Black Lagoon), like the Islamo-fascists have. And yet...I'm worried. I'm afraid. No, fish aren't very smart, I admit; how long have they fallen for that worm on the hook routine? I think they envy us humans (certainly they must envy us our ability to walk on land), and they despise us. And I've been hearing very disquieting rumors about a stockpile of WMD's off the Bermuda Triangle that you might want to look into. Not that there's anything to the rumors, you understand, but maybe we should devote less attention (and money) to the problems of North Korea or Iran or Afghanistan, and focus more intently on what's happening in the blue waters off Point Pleasant or Cocoa Beach or Provincetown (especially Provincetown...they believe in same-sex marriage for fish there). Still, as long as you're in charge, with your compassion and your intelligence and your intransigent resolve, I know I can sleep easier at night, in spite of my fears and panic. As long as I'm not sleeping by a lake or at the seashore, that is...

You have got to be sh**ting me- he actually said that? So now he's Aquaman too?

I don't know. After the thousands of years of war between our two kinds, I'm not sure we can ever work it out. We may need Captain Kirk for this one.

No wonder now I feel safer now every time I walk into Soon Lee Supermarket!

This should be in the positive and inspirational quotes weblist. Get on it, guys!

Can't expect anything more intelligent than that! My 5-year old figured that out before Bush did...

He said this after one of his advisers briefed him fish don't control any of the world's oil.

Except in seafood restaurants...

Just as long as they don't start developing WMDs.

I think we all dream of this day...

Yeah I can still coexist with fish... in my belly.

Well, I dunno, I don't like the way my goldfish have been staring me down lately . . . one of us is going to have to go, and damn if it's going to be me . . .
