The act of "freeing the lobster to its certain doom" perhaps tells us
that even human idiocy can contain hope.  Better this than the
internecine wars of public masturbation that form school history and
foreign policy.  I've worked on a lobster and crab boat and it is hard
work - apparently Alaskan crabbing is the most dangerous work in the
world.  Catching lobsters and crabs so that heros can return them to
the sea seems somewhat less futile than the Ponzi-ing about of
international money disappearing.
