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.

The environmentalists are also individuals who have no fundamental grasp of economics. Just look at the following: The options include a combination of tighter regulations - including cuts in fishing days of up to 65 percent - closed fishing grounds, quotas and gear changes.

What industry could survive with an arbitrary imposition of a 65% curtailment in working days?

How do you pay for your capital equipment?

And on a more basic note, from what employment pool do you gleen your workers? (Sure guys, come work for me, I promise you you will have a minimum of 237 days off each year. We only fish for 128 days each year. Of course that makes it a part time job. You don't get benefits and stuff. And you will only receive about 40% of the pay you might otherwise get in any other job.)

Whenever I look at these detached, marble headed, overly simplistic "solutions" which are offered by enviros, I am reminded of an old joke about how you turn an elephant inside out.

It's real simple. You just grab him by the trunk, and snap him inside out!
