Saving Gays and Beached whales

First, I want to add my voice to any others regarding the gay teenager who sought asylum in the UK when his boyfriend in Iran was executed, lost his appeal, fled to Holland, and has been sent back to the UK, which says he's run out of appeals and is scheduled to be deported back to Iran.

In the name of all that is the best of humanity, DO NOT deport this boy to his death!

On a lighter note, continuing the theme of yesterday's post, I have come upon another piece of evidence that there will be intelligent life remaining on earth even if we humans succeed, eventually, in wiping ourselves out.

Apparently dolphins and whales can communicate with each other. The evidence comes from Australia where a group of people had been trying their best, unsuccessfully, to save two beached whales. Up came a dolphin, one of those who often came to that place to play with the swimmers. The dolphin somehow communicated with the whales, calming them down, and excorting them out to open seas.

What we might learn if we really did ever learn to communicate with the other creatures of the world.
