Clammer, you're a wise man, my friend -
I'm in the middle of a project right now and I was going to post this earlier but I opted to get some work done -
It's this: You have to realize that's a pretty tall tree you're taking an axe to - with deep roots.
Where ever you start, the end battle is really the reduction fishery and Omega Protein on the menhaden issue.
Omega was a subsidiary of the Zapata Corporation and Zapata was owned by George H.W.Bush, if memory serves.
Tall tree, deep roots and who knows where they go...
Fisheries managers are also appointees, not elected officials - and they have to toe the line. If I'm wrong on that, I'll admit to it when proven otherwise.
All that having been said, I'd be willing to throw a hat in the ring as time and work schedules allow - but this is just the opening salvo if that's what you have in mind.
Just don't expect shock and awe on the part of the managers - that didn't work either the last time around. It'll be a long campaign.
And to go anywhere at all with it, you're going to have to have everyone rowing the boat in the same direction, like Clammer said.
Uh oh...now it looks like not only am I fluent in Clammish, but we're pretty much on the same channel...
Nothing wrong with that - he's got common sense and I know you don't get that for free...
