Not to be too flaming cleo, but WTF? Just because they have little or no fish swimming in their waters means we have to sell to them? No, it is only because of the $$....... Therefore it is not too many people, it is too much greed. They would not starve to death if we did not sell our resources to them.
That is the problem in this country. From Capitol hill on down, Americans will sell their country out for their own personal gain. This is what has changed about the common man in this country over the last 60 years....... I say, let em eat seaweed that they get on their own beach!
Oh, and you think that because of overpopulation the Canadians are down here buying "our" crab, or could it be that they want to save their resource for themselves?
