I grew up in the city, not a small town....and we still grew up w/ personal accountability...had nothing to do with everybody knowing our business....it had to do with my Family taking care of what they needed to take care of and worrying about what everybody else was doing. It had more to do w/ personal values than butting in.

Again...That is your business...its your neighborhood....why don't you drive to a distant neighborhood and get involved w/ this.

That is your business because you partake in the fishery and it does impact you down the road

People didn't do the right thing way back when because everybody was nosing around in their business....it was because people were brought up w/ a different set of values back then.
