Dave, I re-read the article this morning and I took it as more of a "an accomplishment is more gratifying if it's earned rather than handed to you" message. Basically, to me it say to take your time and enjoy the whole process as opposed to wanting instant gratification. I don't think anyone should be offended by it. I spend about half my time fishing from the boat and the other half surfcasting. I still have a lot to learn when it comes to fishing tera firma, but each year and each time out I learn more. That to me is a big part of the enjoyment. But then again, I'm not fishing for a 50 every time out. I fish to relax and have fun. If I base a successful trip on how much fun I had, I'd say that I'm a pretty darn good fisherman. For those that only want to set records or PB's every time out, they're missing out on a lot of what makes fishing great.

Keep up the good work!

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
