These headlines are true:

These headlines are lies:
New law helps protect manatees
Gov. Bush signs bill for study of manatee habitat
Florida will study manatee habitat under bill signed by Bush
Florida Will Study Manatee Habitat
Bush backs research on manatees
That thing where the guy says "They came for the Poles and I did nothing..."? And on through a list of victims leading right up to his front door? That's where we are. Manatees are useless except in zoos and aquaria. It's not a moral issue. That's a trick, to frame it as a moral issue, and to then use a morality in which animals have no standing.
It is not a moral issue. It is an assertion of living, of being alive and here and connected. Or surrender.
