Well it could be stopped, but not until the majority (us) grow a proverbial set of balls and quit being afraid of having the "R" or "B" word thrown our way. That is the most successful strategy that has ever been used in history, and that is how small minorities can get all the benefits they do.... That and guilt....
My greatest pessimistic fear is that the growing of balls that is needed will not happen, and we will all one day (probably not that far off) be writing threads on this board explaining to young people what Crabbing, Shrimping, and clamming was. Their reply will likely be, "Oh, I thought that was just a thing the indians did"..... Get mad folks.... Get damn mad.... I think if a coordinated effort could be made for even 1/2 of all license buyers to boycott for one year we would wake a lot of people up... Can that be done? At this point it wouldn't be giving up too much more than we are being given...
