"They never will admit it...and even if they are dragged kicking and screaming into the light, and things improve, they'll still find some way to take credit for it."

You mean like you not admitting that your 1000+ mile fishing trip, your companies metal plating its lures and smelting lead is destructive to the environment? Or that your impact on wild fish mortality by pursuing catch and release is somehow beneficial to the species?

Does not someone here use the idiom pot, kettle, black?
