When the Car Radio Was Introduced, People Freaked Out 

In 1930, laws were proposed in Massachusetts and St. Louis to ban radios while driving. According to automotive historian Michael Lamm, “Opponents of car radios argued that they distracted drivers and caused accidents, that tuning them took a driver’s attention away from the road, and that music could lull a driver to sleep.”

The Best Thing You Can Do

Don’t buy a ticket.

Oh how I wish EVERYONE could (and would) do just that.

Free Lolita. Stop using whales for entertainment. Stop the cycle of greed.

The end.

You know what’s great? That the best way to help Lolita and all captive whales and dolphins is also the easiest. It requires no time, no effort, no money. It’s just a simple choice.

Don’t buy a ticket.

If you choose to not buy a ticket you help break the cycle of greed. If you convince another person to not buy a ticket you start a chain reaction. But it starts with you. You have the choice. The animals do not.
