Per "Mackeralsnatcher," regarding catch shares:
"Emily, you, Roy and the rest at NMFS and NOAA can keep trying to make a silk purse out of a sows ear but we all know the difference between what's good and fair and what is a steaming load of dung."
Ever stop to wonder why the Walton Foundation, better know as Walmart, has donated over $ 30,000,000 to the EDF? This "Donation" has been "dung" in the name of catch shares. Our "Chum" Walmart is predicting profits in the billions from selling us back OUR fish!
It must be remembered that Roy Crabtree is a yes man to Dear Jane. As such, to this, "Load of dung" we must also add NOAA's Jane Lubchenco. Without Dear Jane's legacy to her birthright, EDF & PEW, shares/separation would be nothing but a dream in the hearts of those such as Walmart. Bob H.
