Cohoangler: For starters, When I first started the thread about the tribes getting to net the Lake Washington Sockeye, the information that you just posted wasn't even out yet. As of the time of my origional posting the Tribes still had every intention of nettinfg that run of fish. When I first posted on this subject, I was simply asking a question, not trying to create a forum or a platform for people to air their "Racist" views. I tried to do my best to insure that things didn't go the "racist" route, unfortunately, I do not have control over what others decided to post. I think that the whole issue of Tribal netting is very touchy, and since the whole debate is actually centered around "Race", it's next to impossible for the subject of "Race" not to get brought up. It was unfortunate that certain people thought it would be cool to start suggesting things like the genocide of the Native Americans. I dont' agree with that view point, and it's too bad that people don't know what thoughts are acceptable in a public forum, and which thoughts should remain private.... That being said, I'm glad that the Tribes don't get to net the Sockeye.
