Yeah, well they can take my fishing tackle when they pry it out of my cold, dead hands...

On a serious note - and at the risk of making a political statement in the wrong forum - we live in a plutocracy (rule by the wealthy) and serving corporate interests to accelerate that transfer of wealth is a large part of the system. That's what all three branches of government are paid to do (in one way or another) by lobbyists.

I voted for Obama and regret it, but it's not like we actually had a choice

The two parties are basically the same creature with two heads. The point is the same, the only difference is the delivery

Expect the largest contributors to their re-election funds to be the voices heard most clearly, regardless

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
