I love this IDOITS! I echo all the above sentiments and the ones by fishermen in the article. Above and beyond their normal lunacy, the following thru me deeper into the abyss:
"The filament lines are everywhere, the sinkers are everywhere, the beer cans are everywhere -- not
exactly responsible stewardship," Friedrich said.
OK, so follow the logic here and apply it to Camping. The small minority of rude, filthy and stupid campers that leave "beer cans" along with trash, glass and cigarette buts EVERYWHERE should they also be banned? So then the parks become 100% people free zones?
Here's my idea to solve 2 problems at once - Round up all the registered PETA folks (should be easy just get a 10 yearold hacker to get into their databases) and drop ship them into afganistan and Iraq. Their mission is to convince Saddam and the terrorist to stop leaving LEAD shell casings and bullets in the wilderness of those countrys. LOL That means they'll last about 60 seconds. OK It will cost the USE a few hundred Thousand dollars in military staff hours, transporation costs and the like, but MAN what a easy end. Oh, and we can install GPS tracking devices into each one with heart monitors so we not only know where they are but when they expire!!!
