I will take a back seat to no one in my concern for the safety of our natural resources. I have spent nearly all my seventy years putting money, effort, elbow grease and reputation where my mouth was. I've watch what was a perfectly good word, environmentalist, turned into a word used by urban terrorists to distroy property and coerce the uninformed to their way of thinking.
There are equal partners in this terrible truth, one, the education establishnent from K thru Universities, I think I got them all with that, I hope so. Watching my grandson perform in a play put on by his grammer school was more than I could stand. Lines like , the evil loggers and greedy bussiness men and the demonizing of those who hunt and fish, it made me sick. Funny, there were no evil bussiness women.
I swore that day I would do as many fishing seminars as possible to dispell the notions being taught in our schools. We've abandoned our younger folk to the socialist garbage being spewed every day in our schools. From the cotton candy, feel good mind control in the lower classes to the radical hate taught in the ivory towers of higher education.
The second culprit, politicians, they may be the biggest of our problems. They tell us all the thinks we know are right. For instance, they know that the most important commodity in this WORLD is water. They even passed a law in the seventies, The Clean Water Act, and to be fair there has been some good results,(Androscoggin R. NH). However when it comes to the really hard decisions, namely stream flow,well that will take some time. Stream flow has mutch to do with dams, which has much to do with electicity, which has mutch to do with business. Not to mention communities and residents and all others that reside in such community. On the bottom of that list is wildlife, Fish, deer, bear, varmits and all the birds that live and need the river for sustenance. We haven't mentioned the habitat surrounding such a body of water. Yes this will take some time, after the legislature demands that the stream flow problem be addressed and resolved. This is hard and polititians don't do hard, see social security. How about fourteen years.
