6. The continued destruction of our environment affects me on the daily, and everyone else on this site. Even if a handful of oil execs and their bought and paid for bootlickers in the government have convinced the idiots that it's a commie plot to destroy America, the science is perfectly well settled; man caused global warming is destroying our entire ecosystem. It has already caused "ocean conditions" that are crushing the last remaining salmon and steelhead populations that have managed to survive the massive habitat destruction wreaked on our lands by the very same people.

7. The continued selling off of public lands to private resource extraction further destroys the environment that the very fish and game we pursue require to live, and shoves all of us onto smaller and smaller bits of land (and water), and puts more and more pressure on those fish and game. It makes our seasons shorter, makes our limits smaller, and makes all of it more and more expensive, with little back to show for that greater expense.

Fish on...
