Actually the reality is the Tribes have already won - Sportspeople were not able to fight effectively.
NOTE - we just had an election, and the Tribes easily won their right to have a monopoly on gambling. The voters like the Tribes and will continue to vote for them. I don't see it likely that any of the allocation of resource issues will be resolved in favor of sportsman.
However, we should be thankful the Tribes have not gone to court to get their land back. At some point they will, and Puget Sound will probably have to pay back rent for property you think you have clear title to and think you "own".
As far as salmon and crab, the days of sportspeople getting a share are gone...forever I fear. The crabbing exploded mainly because the state took away - at the tribes request- most of the salmon fishing seasons and so what's left? Crab and shirmp. And both are quickly becoming unavailable to sportspeople because of vastly reduced seasons.
I don't agree with what has happened but finally have accepted the fact that I can do nothing about it other than try to vote out the incumbants."
as was stated
so maybe some folks need to re align granny's thought s and get the majority onboard?
great post crabless
kudo's at ya
still amazes me how 1.6% locally or .9% nationally are allocated 50% of the take
(per 2000 usa census)
while i'm in a rage?
that same census concluded
66% of folks are whitey/homeboys
whatever?
12.8% are hispanic? (my rusty ass)
12.5 % afro american? (my buddy's rustier ass)
the guy taken over half the goods?
1.6 % locally with a 0.9 % nationally?
so my question becomes?
if i'm hispanic(and my history evolved here?)
and my buddy is black?
how can these guy's call us racists?
how come they get the goods?
i'll tell ya why
because folks are freaken stoooopid
thats why
soccor mom driven a $60k/5mpg rig feels guilty so?
put a cheeseball on a hill with a spear in his hand while saying something about a native?
good folks fall on their heads to say youser
they never see the injustice or unfairness of the true world
ohh well
tea party they're bums
it'll feel good:)
and it will happen in my lifetime
even if i have to initiate it:)
