Boating - Outdoors

You've said a mouthful there, Bob. Environmentalists, tree-huggers,
Greens, fishermen, hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts all have
vested interests in many of the same issues. But you'll never see
a hunter or fishermen in the Green Party or a Green Party member
at the Pheasants Forever banquet. Wouldn't it be nice if both sides
could compromise and find a middle ground that places concern for
the environment and the outdoors foremost ? Man, what a powerful
constituency THAT would be, PETA freaks and hunters united in a
common cause. ;-)
