Argh, argh, I've been away for a whole week. Too much to catch up on in just one post, but please, please don't think that by 'the slant' i meant a racist slur on you Cranks!:<
It wasn't meant like that at all; in British vernacular a 'slant' is basically whichever side or angle a topic of conversation is aiming towards. I meant that so far the most concern of the debate had been about understanding Japanese views of Dolphin hunting and whaling, and that for a full debate to be enacted, it would have to come back and explore western views of dolphin hunting and whaling. Even if an argument seems flawed, it's still often representative of the reasons why there is a controversy in the first place and worth exploring.
Of course, now I'm not sure if you knew that already and were joking or not! :/
