Light, Airy, Fishy…

The Miami airport has a hallway filled with these things. Perhaps a little overdone in an OCD way, but for public art they could have done worse. Happily, fish are funny.

  1. This is a sick display of speciesism that does not respect our piscene neighbors, but treats their corpses as decorative objects. Would a display of shrunken human heads be “funny”? These native species peacefully inhabited the waters around Florida long before the white, male, Christian invaders came and attacked their habitats with a genocidal practice of “fishing” — which really means killing and eating these peaceful creatures.

    The whole thing should be taken down, the President should issue an apology, and a memorial to the destroyed lives, and way of life, represented by these victims, should be put in its place.

    It does appear to have twice the number of flotation devices normally required by law.

    However, despite the overcrowding, I will happily volunteer my services as lifeguard or official flotation ensurer.

    …and some people ARE bait.

    Since only one-fourth of the Earth’s surface is land, and three-fourths of
    it is water, the Good Lord obviously wanted everyone to spend three times
    as many hours fishing as plowing.

    Only dead fish swim with the stream.
