CF 'Oh, God of common sense" ,In the Utopian world you seem to be stuck in --- each person would not abuse the "right" to fish. It seems the folks that abuse the resource [now and in the past] made it such that laws and rules were made [fishing became a 'priviledge'] so that we could all share the resource. With the laws and rules came the money grubbing government. A right became a priviledge. Seems simple to me but then again I'm not the God of common sence like you.
