Hanging out with dolphins can relieve human depression. Researchers' conclusion: It makes the humans feel better. Environmentalists' objection: It stresses out the dolphins. Cynics' question: Why are we testing a therapy hardly anyone could arrange or afford?

Case study showing the environmentalists are full of bologna:
In 1988 I arrived in Hawaii, looking for a quiet place near the water to meet with clients seeking spiritual counseling and to compile the messages of the dolphins and whales. Many people had become interested in dolphins and I looked forward to sharing my stories with them. I had received a dreamtime message that I would meet some friendly extraterrestrials in Hawaii, not realizing that it was the ocean-inhabiting dolphins and whales who were contacting me.
As I entered the water tentatively, the dolphins welcomed me. Previously I swam while wearing a life jacket. Now I began learning from them, how to swim and dive. Spending every day in the bay with the dolphins, my life was filled with contentment. I felt healthy, close to nature, athletic and full of curiosity about this special dolphin connection. As I shared my joy in the ocean with close friends and clients, more and more people came to meet the dolphins and then began to move to this island to be close to them.

Dolphins are our friends; Do not be an environmentalist. It is almost Christmas.
