You know, I've been convinced of the error of my ways.

Anyone know where I can get Lidocaine-impregnated hooks? I intend to
dip them in Betadine before I cast them, just to help with the healing
process. And I will only tie flies from materials harvested from
free-range animals, who died gently in their sleep. And I'll only use
floatant and other chemical materials from companies that refuse to do
animal testing. The tippet and leader material must be biodegradable,
and all labor for my gear, clothing and materials will be from
countries that do not have sweatshops, and have honored the UN
Declaration of Human Rights. I'll stop swatting mosquitoes, but use
Skin-so-soft instead. I'll ensure the gas in my car that I use to get
to the stream was from US fuel reserves, the car is a Hybrid that gets
at least 30 mpg, but I only use it for journeys in excess of 10 miles
(errr, I mean 16 kilometers) when I can't ride my bike, take public
transport or walk, and I will only drink american beer.

Well, I might slip up on the beer thing.
