But I do recall looking at an online menu one time when planning where
to eat on a domestic vacation, I forget where, and upon noticing that
they served shark fin, I decided to find a different restaurant. Now
if the other 300,000,000 or so Americans could do the same thing, we'd
put these shark-fin consumers out of business.

Unfortunately, I think the population you need to address would be the
Asian-Americans who would seek out establishments that serve, then order and
eat shark fin soup. I have never seen such a thing on any menu, nor would I
patronize any establishment that did, and if I did encounter such a place,
you can bet I would bitch to US Fish and Wildlife, all my congress and
representative types, the Governor, the Health Department and post the name
of the shithole here. I would also contact a bud of mine who is the
environmental reporter for one of the larger local papers and get the name
of the restaurant put in the paper. In this part of the state, with
Evergreen College and the enormous hippie populations of Olympia and
Seattle, there would likely be an arson/lynching/candle-light
vigil/peace-march situation develop. Not to mention the Tribal influence.

As far as congressmen go, unlike you, I see no huge difference between the
parties, they are all whores. Your chosen brothel seems to be capable of
some sleight of hand that makes you think they are voting differently or
doing more to end the war in Iraq (and now deny starting it), but the truth
is quite different.

Speaking of which, when are you Californians going to put Feinstein's feet
to the fire for making Randy Cunningham (who is in prison) look like an
amateur when it comes to defense department influence peddling and war
profiteering?

Something you said about cleaning houses...
