"Government control or Took a court order to get more spill." Uhm... wouldn't that be government in action?

There are folks who make a helluva lot of money off not spilling. Somehow, they didn't win on the Columbia Basin. The last ten years in the Columbia basin have seen fantastic, wonderful, good, positive returns which are somewhat a result of government in action.

And give me a break - do you really beieve salmonids thrive on "good ocean conditions" despite every governmental agency working toward their demise?

If you really you believe that WA state and federal government are actively opposing salminid survival, you are an idiot.
