Obsessed- not an attack. I should have used the word "won't" in the place of "wouldn't" I beg your pardon sir. Glad to here that you won't need it either. Now wouldn't you like to have some of the money to invest on your own and maybe be better off in the future? Just a thought. I know that 15% of my pay could do much better than the <2% SSI will pay.

Salmo- The way I understand Carlsons proposal is that he would offer compensation to net fishermen to not fish. I would think that this would be perfectly do-able if the legislature would fund it. Buying out licenses has been done in the past, has it not. I promise I'm not picking a fight here, the idea has just piqued my interest and you are probably more knowledgable on the legal ramifications of this sort of thing than anyone here. I would probably donate to a fund to help buy the nets out of the rivers.
