More Rap on the Flap Over Flipper
I appreciated the piece by Smith on the New Age claptrap and dolphin encounters, particularly the bit about sending groups of autistic children, emotionally disturbed teen-agers and business executives to swim with dolphins for psychological succor. Conspicuous by their absence in this list of spiritually benighted people are lawyers and politicians. But on reflection, I think it might be more appropriate for them to swim with sharks, instead of dolphins.
