    I have been to Iceland and Greenland and Alaska and Norway, etc. I promise you there is no utilitarian need to hunt whales in any of these places. They all have grocery stores where you can buy pineapples for reasonable prices.

    We can argue tradition, but there is no utility here.

      I have lived in two of those places for years and I can tell you that you have no idea what you’re talking about.

      For example, Fairbanks is only one third of the way up Alaska. There’s still so much left north of it.

      I mean, do they?

      like not every place has a grocery store that’s easy to get to
