It's clear a lot of people don't understand the science. That doesn't mean the science is wrong," said Anthony Chatwin of the Conservation Law Foundation.

I'm sure that Mr. Chatwin is competent to review the science (snicker). The scientists have already admitted that their equipment was faulty resulting in a finding of reduced fish population (the net was set improperly). But facts are, of course, of little use when you have to save critters, the chillen, and the environment.

They need good science. And some common sense. If the fisherman use their heads they'll realize that they could overfish themselves out of jobs. And if the scientists continue to lie, then they'll be screwing everyone involved, not just themselves. No-one will believe them when they're right, and we'll all pay for it.

"What's going on now is like a witch hunt," he said of regulators. "They've lost complete control of common sense. It's gone overboard."

Ideas have consequences.
What we see here is the end product of government enforced political correctness - the tragic result of generation after generation being brainwashed in the government (public) school systems of the land. These fishermen's frustration is just the tip of the iceberg of underlying frustration and bottled up emotions felt across America, especially on April 15 of each year. America must return to the principles of her founding fathers - or she is doomed.
Is there still hope?
The results at the polls this past Tuesday indicates there may be.

Definition of an environmentalist - Someone that looks at the same data as everyone else and comes up with a totally incorrect solution time after time.
