Hey MickeyMouse,

How in the hell could you mix up justice with jealousy? You ask how is this situation an injustice? I'll try to explain this to you but I'm not confidant that you will have the intelligence to understand it. The non-indian sportfishermen of the Northwest have paid more than our share to propegate these hatchery springers by purchasing fishing licences and paying fishing tackle surcharges that you probably aren't even aware of, as well as pay taxes and higher power rates. Yet the Indians are given extra opportunity to get more special rights beyond the 50% of harvestable fish treaty provisions, which is grossly outdated and unfair by any measure of intellect (despite Judge Boldt's rediculous misinterpretation of "sharing the fish in common with" so that he wouldn't get cut off by his Indian wife), here at Icicle Creek after already getting special rights to net springers earlier out in the Columbia this year where sportfishermen weren't allowed to fish for them at all! These are a 100% hatchery run. Were there even springers in this creek waaaaayyyyy back in another lifetime when Indian treaties were signed? You don't see any injustice here Mickey? And spare us the ludicrous argument that the "Indians were here first" [Bleeeeep!]! Just because they hiked across the Bering Sea landbridge after the last iceage and split into different tribes before our ancestors boated over the Atlantic doesn't mean they owned the N. American continent anymore than the U.S. owns the moon! The natural laws of the world at that time were survival of the fittest! Anywhere on Earth. Evolving people or animanls alike. Some of the survivors differed in how they dealt with their conquered. The Indian tribes that conquered other Indian tribes primarily for land and resourse aquisition didn't share the spoils of land and fish with the conquered tribes, they just simply killed them all off! Then when these conquering tribes got conquered by the dudes that boated over to the other side of the continent, they were given land and half the fish. Unlike what they were willing to allow the Indian tribes that they had conquered earlier! Right or wrong, that was the primative law of the world at that time and it was one earth. Those treaties which lacked forsight should have expired along with the times, just as did public street hangings and stagecoach robberies. Now how in the hell is it that unlike every other ethnic race on this continent in today's world the Indians should get rediculous special rights to take fish we paid for to sell for more money than they are already getting over and above welfare and other special interest money they are getting? The answer is that they shouldn't! Do you see any injustice there Mickey? Probably not, you're just a mouse so you can drop out of the discussion. For any others without natural logic that still think that today's Indians have some kind of intrinsic rights over others because their tribe raiding ancestors walked around here before Euro ancestors did, do you then think that since Anglo-Euros got here before Asian, African, Korean, Russian, and South American ancestors that today's Euros should get special rights over them? NO. And they DON'T! Neither should present day Indians that sit back and live off all other present day people's taxes!! They should have long ago been allowed to work and play by the rules the rest of us do. Actually forced to do as the rest of us have.
