People, bad stuff happens because we LET IT HAPPEN. Please, I invite you to write letters to your legislators NOW.

If the environmentalist crazies have their way, we'll all be feeble vegetarians, not allowed to fish nor hunt. PM me if you're interested in protesting on a weekend.

Truth is, hunting and fishing has done more to restore the environment than anything else. Our hunting license fees have bought land and other resources that brought back the Texas alligator and Oklahoma bear from extinction in our states. But, since when has liberalism been about common sense and the truth? Yeah, I'm "green", that's why I hunt and fish!

I'm not so sure they want to ban recreational fishing. The author of the article was expressing his opinion. And it's an opinion I respect.

But I spent an hour and a half yesterday searching and reading the links contained in the article. I couldn't find anything on recommendations that the Council on Environmental Quality and the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force has made other than to create another Bureau to make more studies.

In the interim report I read from the Council on Environmental Quality it mentioned many times the beneficial impact recreational fishing has on the economy.

I have no doubt that Robert Montgomery(author) believes what he is claiming. I'd just like to see for myself what the reports actually say. And I failed at that attempt. Honestly....I gave up searching(and reading).

I know their recommendations are out there. I just don't know where to find it. And at this point I'm not ready to go to condition orange.....just yet.

Has anybody had better luck than I did on finding their recommendations as it pertains to recreational fishing?

Oh yeah, vegetables aren't food, vegetables are what food eats.
