Bill clinton was in no way ever concerned about the enviroment. that was gores pet project. Clintons concern with the enviroment was how many votes he could squeeze out of the green party. How any fisherman or hunter could back bill clinton or that crazy gore is beyond me. Gore and peta and the seirra club want to out law guns, fishing, hunting, motor boats, hatcheries and yes even fly fishing. The goal of the enviromental movement is to stop any one but them from going in to the enviroment. Al (what money from what preist) gore wants to give control of all are national parks to the un. dont laugh many nations already have. check national geographic artical on vetinam national parks. peta has already stopped hunting in some state parks and is now going after fishing in state parks. how anyone can before the one side view point of how to control are wildland is beyond me. many of the laws and regulations struck down by bush were done so becouse they were wrong and destrutive. How much of are forest must we let burn before the left will amitt that selective cutting is needed in order to maintane a healthy and productive forest. I go to bcc collage and rececived extra credit to attend a speach on the enviroment. it turned out to be a political action meeting complete with phone #s emails and faxes of congress men to call and a little printed speach to read to them. the pictures that they showed of the destrutive forest practices where all 40 years old.. I have seen these same pictures a million time over the last 30 years. The facts they quated where all from old report and only from eniromental groups. I was embaressed not only for the guy giving the talk but for the saps that were buying it. the enviroment is a managable renewable resouse and should be traeated as such. we can not have commerical and sport fishing with out hatcheries. becouse we have had poor managment and bad ideas on how to run hatchiers is no reason to close them. The serria club and washinton trout want them closed so they can list the salmon as endagered so we can not fish. its sounds silly but thats the truth. any one who buys in to the wild vs hatchery bull is leading tham selfs by the nose in to a wold with out fishing.
try this idea. if hactchery fish are becoming a different breed becouse we only breed hatchary returns , then why not only use wild stock every year in are breeding programs. sound like that would do away with the gene drift. like I said just becouse we dont do the best job now deos not mean we cant do the best tomorrow.
