I cannot see what the Greenlander's have to fear from the ACA. They are not demanding that Greenland kayakers get certified are they, like they are doing to Sea Kayakers on the West coast of the USA?

If you considered how you might feel if you heard that some foreign group (which was totally alien to you and all your beliefs) was about to promulgate rules on how to practice your chosen religion, or your profession, or how to honor your cultural identity, you might not like the idea either. I doubt that it would matter to you whether they meant to enforce their ideas on you or just on others -- it is the idea that they are stealing something sacred from you and bastardizing it for their own gain, even naming it after you, and all without asking for permission or input. I would respect the interpretation and advice of John Heath on the subject. I think he has certainly done enough to earn our respect and trust.

You want specific? It was a not rant but satire.
