Grandpa, I believe that your underlying purpose here is to pump up your massive holdings in (wait for it) the aluminum foil industry.

I've stayed out of this discussion until now. I believe that it is inevitable for farm raised salmon to continue to grow market share and surpass the commercial catch of "free range" salmon. I also believe that it is probably a good thing for the fate of the "free range" salmon, however, this is a double edge sword. If the Commercial fishery collapses, can WDFW still pump millions of salmon into the eco-system? Somehow, I doubt it. And if that happens, we will have to confront the threats to our wild fish or kiss them goodbye.

Do we have the will? Are we willing to battle the inevitable political arguements that will ensue? Hell, we can't even agree on a simple thing like Wild SH release. Some think that the Growth Management Act is a Communist conspiracy, others think the opponents must be stinking capitalist pigs. Ramon hates hatcheries, Grandpa loves them. Some believe that we can't live without the Hydropower, others believe that hydro is killing us bit by bit. We have big issues!! Sometime we must confront them or our fish will be gone.
