Fishism In America
Fishism is a word tossed around a lot in our country these days. Personally, I think fish are OK. I mean, sometimes sharks can be a pain in the ass. One took that poor young surfer girl's arm. Still, it's not like sharks are pulling us into the ocean to attack us. We are intruding on their surf. I mean, if a shark walks into a bad human neighborhood at night, he's probably going to risk getting robbed or shot at or something. Right? So if we go in the ocean, we risk getting torn up by a shark. It only seems fair. So if they stay in the water and we stay on the land, it's all good...don' cha think? We also say, when something appears suspicious that it "seems fishy." What's that about? How is talk like that going to improve human/fish relations? All this rhetoric about fishism being a bad thing just seems like we're being kinda unfair to fishes. So here's a post that raises awareness of fishism and hopefully will improve relations with our fishy friends,or not.
