Very apologetically, I am belatedly posting this guest contribution from David Rothenberg, a philosopher, musician and author of fascinating books on whales, birdsong and a host of other facets of the natural world.

[ESP.] “Es hora de romper el silencio, es hora de pararse alto, es tiempo de decirle a todo el Mundo lo cínicos que estas personas son, es hora de decirle a esta gente que tan equivocados estan”.

[ENG.] “It is time to break the silence, it is time to stand tall, it is time to tell the whole World how cynical this people are, it is time to tell this people how wrong they are.”
