97% of "the people" beg for nothing
"The commercial fishing industry will have to evolve to a more farm based industry
So the gubmit can say "where" the farm is and subsidize it?
Society needs to "devolve" into a self-sufficient people
You did not indicate it was that simple, but some other posters did. I simply responded to you as the OP.
I do think that part of your premise is flawed - in that it is fine to “leave the commercial fishermen the hell alone” when the commercial fishermen are not acting on “their” property. Were the commercial guys using their own resources, then the conservative position would be to leave them the hell alone.
That is not the case with the fisheries. This is why it is not a clear liberal conservative issue and cannot be. The fisheries are in fact owned by the sports guys just as much as by the commercial guys and actually by all of us as much as any of us.
Commercial fishing has the potential to ruin the fishery for everybody forever, which will then ruin the value of coastal properties for everybody forever. This is a fact.
