I always thought my "right" was covered under the "pursuit of happiness" phrase :p

In all fairness, whether it is a right or not, we all have a responsibility associated with that right. Further, since some government bureaucrats codified our "responsibilites" into laws, we now get to pay big $$ and live with the restrictions we all endure.

If we dont like the current situation, wait for the next election, better yet act now with your lobbying, your $$, and your time to make it better. I still believe we all have the ability to make positive change.

Until that time I will continue to live with the "law" and try to figure out that book of regulations that seems to get larger and more confusing every year.

I think the thing that bothers me most right now is the fact that our sports related $$ is going into govt general funds and we are losing the benefit of having it directed towards fishing. With the huge deficits now facing the politicos, Im afraid it's only going to get worse.

My $0.02.
