December 17, 1999 Reuters Can Whales Live in Harmony with Salt Plant. Each January, schools of gray whales travel 6,200 miles from the Bering Straits to the warm-water lagoon San Ignacio, a World Heritage Site. But Exportadora del Sal (ESSA), a joint venture between Japanese giant Mitsubishi and the Mexican government, plans to build a $120 million salt plant in the lagoon, that they say would bring much-needed jobs and development to an impoverished region with minimal ecological damage. A powerful coalition of 58 international and Mexican environmental groups including nine Nobel Prize-winning scientists and 15 green U.S. mutual funds with assets worth $14 billion are boycotting Mitsubishi, saying that ESSA is already polluting the Guerrero Negro and Ojo de Liebre lagoon 87 miles up the coast, home to sea lions, black sea turtles and prong-horned antelopes, with another large salt evaporation plant there. However, a UN report says wildlife at Guerrero Negro is not in danger.

Why is it that, apart from OutRage!, and one or two other individuals, there has been not even a murmur of disapproval in response to these nasty, repressive elements of the age of consent Bill? How come the lesbian and gay community is closing its eyes to injustice?
