Of course vested interest can abound in any field, eh? Human nature is
just that. So, No, don't throw away the laws, but don't bankrupt the
states with needless enforcement either. If more people are given
opportunities to have personal contact with native fish, they will start
to care, and as you say, we have to start somewhere! Ask any teacher, as
you yourself know full well, its hard, if not impossible to get someone
to learn something they don't care about. Lifestyles of the fish 'n
famous is no exception. Next fish kill YOU run across, ask yourself
could this have been prevented by someone that cared? If you say yes to
this more than once again in your lifetime, you might consider where
you're standing, cause its sinkin fast.
Best to you, keep in touch,

PS. If you don't think there's rednecks everywhere round here too, do
like Bubba, try stepping out the house to take a leak, like as not the
truck driver passin on the highway will flip ya off! Sorry bunch a
yahoos!
