Wait a minute, there, Rev... Don't you preach that success in business comes at the cost of investment and effort?
Yes I do. Your quoted statement (above) is not that far from what I said while i was paraphrasing you.
My point was that those making the real money off the resource (NOT talking gillnetters here) have invested as much or more over the years in lobbying for the status quo that entitles them to untold percentages of natural resources they DON'T invest in than it would cost them to own and operate hatcheries that could support their businesses much more efficiently (and cost-effectively, if you consider the middle men and fishermen they have to pay to get the fish to the processing facilities today).
If that was your point, I must disagree with you on it.
I'll readily admit that my "ideas" don't always meet with reality, but don't you believe that dreams and new ideas are where success begins?
Begins, perhaps? But most know that there is also great deal of effort, time, and money invested in most successful business's. And if when you refereed to success you where speaking of successful change the same investments will need to be made.
I think it is great that people gather on this board and discuss all types of matters, I usually find it at least entertaining, if not stimulating or even enlightening. So thank you all, for contributing to the fray. Please keep it up.
