Default Catch & Release

Did you happen to watch Dubya on the Roland Martin show ?

Seems our Chief Executive catches bass and then lets his
dog chew them to death instead of releasing them.


...and eats them? If the dog eats them, I feel sorry for the dog. I
can see this creating potential health threats. On the other hand, as
long as the fish gets eaten when not thrown back I don't see a problem
with not releasing the fish.

If a person eats it for food or it's a dog that eats it, it's still
being eaten. Being eaten, for the most part, has always been an
acceptable reason for not releasing fish. In _many_ cases, releasing
all caught fish actually does more harm then good.




There's got to be some metaphor for trickle down economics in here
someplace, but damned if I can't phrase it right? Little help?
