I'm sure they will appreciate the humor in it.
I believe enough already is over reacting.
Really? And your response to the site is ridicule and your actions or
lack of them compound the problems addressed there, but you know that.
Of course there are things on the site which require a lot more of you
than you are willing to give but they make a lot of very good points.
At least try to open your mind to the thoughts of people who see
problems ahead for our children even if you can't.
There are many things in
this world that we can not control - over-population is one of them.
Horse **** Dave. China took an admittedly extreme step to control
population but they did act. More reasonable actions by nations can be
taken to address the problem but it is unlikely when the politicians
of so many countries, such as ours, just ignore the problem.
But it all starts with the individual and his attitude.
I am very concerned, however, over didymo and its transference from
one stream to another. I don't believe there is much we can do about
it right now. Perhaps a solution can be found in the near future.
I'm sure there will be one day but again, there are just too many of
us going from stream to stream. Education will help but I'm sure for
the streams up north recently infected with it you folks would much
rather have been educated about how to stop it rather than how it got
there. But would you have cried "The sky is falling." ?
It was happening to someone else and could never happen to you.
But now it has.
Now the problem of too many fishermen with too much mobility and too
little awareness has produced results which affect your streams in New
England. We as anglers will probably have to address those issues
ourselves before the fisheries folks find a cure.
As far as my great great grandchildren..... well, their future will
certainly be different than ours today, just as it was for my great
great grandparents. My parents were born in 1900. Think of all the
changes they had to worry about, yet, here I am.
Great argument Dave. I would have never thought of that.
Great great
grandchildren? They just might look back at us and laugh their asses
off about the crap we now worry about.
There is no doubt things will be different but you surely can't
believe your great great grandchildren will be laughing about what you
will be doing to them. Matter of fact why don't you put that little
nugget in your letter to them? It should be good for a chuckle.
The world will change; I have
no control over it.
Complete and absolute horse **** Dave, and that you know. A complete
wimp out. You do have control over it. There are positive things you
can do, even if the positive things are to not be negative.
You can change the world for the better if you so choose, admittedly
in small parts but it takes the actions of individuals to make the
collective effort amount to something that can be effective.
Write the letter Dave, as much for yourself as them. Or you can just
hide behind your tombstone so they will never know it was you who
screwed up their world.
