In regards to the last article, a friend of mine used to tell me I am "insensitive" because I use the term, rent - a - crowd and rent - a - protesters, now I can add to that rent - an - action group.

"A small band of protesters from the No Ship Action Group had their backs to the ocean when the vessel went under"
LOL. I wonder if they also put their fingers in their ears and yelled "Na na na na na I can't hear you"

Glad to see this one is done. Congrats to the Aussie folks. Next one...Annapolis!

This article has some video & good pix including the dolphins... and the skywriting. The real "SHAME" is the money wasted on it, which could have been put towards a worthy cause like the Japanese relief effort, or some nice comfy concrete slippers for people who have nothing better to do with their time than spread misinformation

On Skynews they had the no ship guy. He said something about they were responsible for the sign in the sky and that at their weekly meeting, something like 25 of them chipped in for it and cost in the range of $3800.
Good to know people use disposable income wisely when the coast needs more books in its schools for kids or the local hospitals etc
It is their money and they can do what they like with it but I think there would be better things do to with that much money on the coast thats all, in my opinion.
