Rapid River article

.. 35+ fisherman harvested 85 bass under
very windy conditions. All bass were taken by IF&W biologists to do
scale sampling, aging, egg sampling, etc to further understand the
Rapid bass issue. Other issues with the Rapid aside, this was a
monumental occasion. While 85 bass may be a drop in the bucket, for
once diverse sporting groups in Maine came together with a common
goal, working for the common good, rather than fighting for their own
interests. A problem exists, and many folks are finally stepping up to
do something about it, rather than watching it slide by the wayside.

\ i'm sorry, but anyone who has ever caught a smallie the same length as
a trout or landlocked salmon will tell you that he *loves* to catch
smallmouth bass. what's the big deal?

Still, ya gotta love that egalité, fraternité, common good ****. It ain't
every day that the vast majority of humanity that is trout fans speak with a
single voice.

I can't believe you don't know. Bass are a warm water fish and will eat a
fishery to death of all its trout/salman. The Rapid *was* a cold water fishery
without bass. They were illegally introduced to Umbagog in the mid 80s. Maine
has a problem with Bubbuhs who think that bass and pike are more important than
the native fish. Nothing wrong with fishing for bass using any rig you want,
but there is a problem when you try to protect one of the greatest Brook Trout
streams in the country and some asshole introduces bass. You have your
unspoiled Hazel. I have my Rapid which is quickly becoming spoiled. Imagine
bass and pike in Hazel eating all those rainbows and browns. Would you stand
for it? Fish for the bass instead?

Wanna restore North America to a pristine state? Well, you could start by
getting your murderous fat white evil welfare ass off of it.

Oh, and lest anyone should feign shock over the simple truth, allow me to
point out that:

A: Dave has explicitly stated support for an illegal action in which a lot
of people's grandchildren have been sent to occupy another sovereign nation
and in the process kill thousands of the grandchildren of many thousands of
other people. Now, I'm no legal expert, but I'm fairly certain that here in
the US, any willful and premeditated illegal action with a high probability
of mortality among the victims and which indisputably results in such
mortality is murder.

B: Dave is most certainly fat. I know.....I've met him.

C: Dave is most certainly white (in the vernacular sense). I know.....I've
met him.

D: Dave has assured me (as well as an individual who once wished him simply
"Peace", and to whom he responded with a hearty "**** your peace") that
human beings are inherently evil. Dave is, to a moral certainty, human.
Ergo, Dave is evil. Incidentally, it necessarily follows that
grandchildren, too, are evil.

E. Dave has been on welfare for virtually all of his adult life.

F: Dave wishes for things to be the way they were.

So, who's got a problem with that?

Wolfie,
I'm pretty sure a 20 + year career in the Navy doing SIGINT ain't
welfare.

The other stuff we'll just disagree on and leave it that as I've
decided it's futile to try a persons politics, operating system or
taste in beer.

Hm......I guess we just disagree on that one.

Well, if I didn't know better, I'd believe that's about what I've been
saying for the last five years or so. Some of us are just a bit more
verbose about it than others.....um......not that there's anything wrong
with that! Carry on.

Wolfgang
with all due respect.....seriously.

Hold it. I got a dog in this fight, so I'll stop counting my food stamps
(green ones with Jefferson on them, not them ones with the "Great
Communicablator" on them) and chime in.
Number 1: These folks on welfare, they supposed to work?
Number 2: Are you defining "welfare" as any gubmint job, or just the
military life? So, like, air traffic controllers are also on welfare, or
not? I understand "providing for the welfare of," but not being "on
welfare."
Number 3: How 'bout the "quasi military" kinda things, like CIA and DIA and
all the rest of those intel guys. The FBI?
Number 4: How 'bout people taking gubmint grants? For research and the
like?
Number 5: How 'bout people who only have a job because of the gubmint?
Like lawyers (if it twern't for them danged laws, enforced by the gubmint,
we wouldn't have 'em danged lawyers)

See, you're using "welfare" as a trigger word. You throw it at some one who
takes pride in the fact that he has provided for his family, some one to
whom being the recipient of charity is as low as they can personally sink,
emasculating. Would you be so base as to attempt this, knowing the outcome?
Intentionally trying to emasculate one, and in the process, intentionally
trying to inflict collateral damage on many others with a similiar
background? You can't hurt yourself with these words (even though you were
in the same, albeit a bit smaller, boat), but many others can take offense,
especially when you question their life's purpose.
Kenny, in an altogether different thread, Kenny, the guy who's to the left
of communists (hyperbole here), is outraged at Opie for allegedly breaking a
law. And then in this thread, you compare the compensation given to someone
who's made it his life's work defending those laws, national and internation
al, to the social security given to my handicapped brother. My brother,
who, even though illiterate and so crippled he can barely walk 50 feet, has
decided to become the dispatcher for the local volunteer fire department,
just so he can feel a bit better than a charity case.
You've created a barrier to communication with the choice of words. Most
would not try to delve into the concepts inherint in your remark, but
rather, become defensive and attempt to return the pain. I don't know you
all that awful well, some time fishing together, tag team wrasslin' a
bear... So I gotta ask ya, do you really want to continue in this vein,
intentionally ****in' folks off instead of letting them hear your Rush
Limbaugh wanna-be ideas, perhaps even converting a few? You feel lucky
punk? Do ya? (plagerized hyperbole)

So wolfie thinks I've been on welfare all of my adult life? Now, *that* is
funny. That's probably what is wrong with our system; my "welfare" checks have
made me a millionaire a couple of times over. Ya gotta love *those* kinds of
social programs.

BTW, I plonked wolfie many many months ago, so I don't see his posts. But that
one must have been a phunny one.
