I've said this before on roff, but if anyone of us _never_
got to fish recreationally again, we ought to consider ourselves
blessed to have been able to as much as we did already. In all
of human history we americans living right now have been
_incredibly_ spoiled --

Agreed.

most people who live now and have lived
before could never imagine the effort we put into recreation.

In any case, our generation will be the last that thinks this
way, so it's a relatively short-term human problem...

I'm not sure exactly which generation is "our" generation, but
I don't see the younger generations' recreation activities slowing
at all. Certainly no one is looking at the older generations and
thinking that they put excessive effort into recreation.
