Pure Al Gore type BS.

The little presentation defeats its own argument. How? It uses today as a
baseline of how different things were in past years than they are today. It
assumes that today's baseline is abnormal and yesterday's is normal.
Further, it selects images from today vs. images of yesterday selected
specifically to show great differences. Photos of large game fish vs. photos
of smaller fish. Sparse reefs vs. teaming reefs. Were there no pictures of
people holding up smaller fish in years past? No pictures of sparse reefs?
Certainly there were so why didn't they select those photos? It's because
those photos would not further their agenda. It's all about agenda and any
intelligent person should realize that. Pictures lie!

Hey Neal, get out of that trailer and take a road trip. Journey to
Newfoundland, (you'll have to get on ferry, you'll get more sea time in
one day than you've accumulated in the last twenty years). Stop at few
of the villages on the Atlantic as you drive around the island. While
you're there, ask the folks why there are so few fishing boats about and
why what few are there are tied up in the local harbour. Ask them to
tell you how much cod was available in the Grand Banks during the '30s.

Oh, and don't be as obnoxious there as you are on this group; while the
Newfies are just about the friendliest bunch of folks you're likely to
find on the planet, they don't like bull**** and they don't mind
clocking someone who desperately deserves it.
