Only Americans would have the genius to charge money for the right to live on the planet on which they were born. Get ready for an air meter on your nostrils.
Growing up, i thought that living off the land was the most natural way to live. My family in Truro clammed , fished and picked whatever berries in season. It was ( compared to today) a great life, a life whose pace was set by the seasons. Today everything seems out of time out of joint and rushed. Just not right, just not natural.
If you needed a fish for dinner, you just went down and caught one, not a big deal, they were there. They were ours.
The idea of paying the government for the right to catch a meal, to me ,is revolting. How dare they tax the dinner on my table? Fishing for me and many others on the Cape and elsewhere for that matter is not a sport but a necessity. Everyone in this country is not well to do(anymore). Just when this economy hits the skids, our table fare is taxed. Let me be first to say this: Screw that , I will not pay on friggin dime for a saltwater permit...Period. I am now and forever, a poacher. I will kill and eat the King's deer.
