  1. I remember my mom telling us to look at each other faces so we can watch for frost bites on our cheeks. I was later told the thermometer indicated -53 F. It was near James Bay. up north...way up. There is a Skydiving club or clan in Quebec that calls itself the "Flying Polar Bears Order". You want ton be a member? All you have to do is jump out of an a/c when the temp on the ground is -15C and have a witness (alive) than can testify... now
  2. It is very efficent to raise funds for a cause if one has a spectacular victim to show. In this case a "wide eyed innocent white furry baby seal being skinned alive and spilling it's blood on white snow" is one of the most powerfull image that has ever been used . I submit that this very seal has been long eaten and the leather it had to provide has been at the dump for a long time but the image remains and lobby groups are milking it because of people's misquided feelings. It is very interesting how somepeople chose to care more about animals than human beings. now
