Um, I, for one, would love to hear the theory under which you and your
brother seem to:
a) feel the taxpayers of the US of A should subsidize you or anyone else
with free or essentially-free public fishing,



Every time I go to Yellowstone I take the time to walk around National Park
Meadow and think about the tremendous leap that mankind made when, for the
first time, it was decided to set aside a great place forever and for
everyone.


I must say I agree with Rdean on this one. I don't understand this
selective communism, which seems to be based on the fact that some
things used to be cheap in the us but aren't any more.

You have to pay for your food, for your healthcare, for your housing,
for your air travel: why should your fly-fishing, or Yellowstone Park
be free? ( I think there are quite a few people who would pay a lot of
money for Yellowstone, and probably manage the franchising much more
efficiently)

Why subsidize American farmers, who as far as I can see are totally
uneconomic when food and cotton could be imported much more cheaply?

I don't understand why they still have free high-school education in
the States. If parents want an education for their children, why don't
they pay for it? Am I right in thinking you even have free school
buses?

IF you want socialism in National Parks, fly fishing and school buses,
then why not extend it to other areas? If I was going to fight for
socialist something, I think it would be healthcare before fly-fishing.
