I can think of no instance where paying the government for permission to do something has gotten me more permission. Quite the contrary. Oversand Permits are my glaring example. The more we've paid over the years, the less access we've gotten. Before Race Point had permits we had total access 365 days a year. Dunes,shore and trails. Now what do we have? 4/15-11/15 minus part of June, all of July, and part of August. For 150 bucks. A license or a permit is used soley to raise the funds to deny you access to what you have already. Without the fees from permits, the government doesn't have the funds to remove the users. In short, by paying, we fund our own demise as sportsmen.
When the government does something for your own good, you can bet the farm that it ain't going to be good.
This has got to be the best thing I have read in a long time
