Darn it, it figures we should get this one before we've finalized the national animal, but here goes anyway: ________________________________________________________ (Dilemma #9) - "Pacific seagulls on the Dinner Table?" The IssueIn a bid to provide a new revenue stream for The New Pacific Order's Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that Pacific seagulls could be added to the menu. The Debate- Option 1: "The fact is, the Pacific seagull population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Akira Hendrikson. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have Pacific seagull kebabs, Pacific seagull pies, Pacific seagull-on-a-sticks--the possibilities are endless! Let's not pass up this golden opportunity to provide a feast, if you will, for our economy."
- Option 2: "I agree that something needs to be done about Pacific seagull over-population," says random passer-by Faith Frederickson, "but eating them? That's kind of gross. Let's just shoot the ones we have to and shovel their bodies into ditches like normal."
- Option 3: "I am shocked and appalled!" declared SPCA President Johan Jong-Il. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The Pacific seagulls were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The Pacific seagull is part of what makes The New Pacific Order a great nation!"

I'm resisting the urge to make a joke about Option Two and the other possible national animal we discussed in the IRC chat.

Okay, I let this one go a couple extra days because of the horrible voter turn out during the holidays. I'd imagine things won't pick up again until New Year's, but nevertheless, up the next issue goes.
