Hi there lonehunter,
It's perfectly logical to me to have to pay for fishing in the ocean. If we don't pay, who's gonna pay for all the guys hired to be law and rule writers, enforcers, patrol vehicles, and boats being aquired to restrict our access to fishing and control when, how, where, what we get to fish for? How silly not to realize that and how great and what an honor it is to be protected! The more we pay the more we'll be restricted. It just gets better and better.
The money generated from taxes on marine products and services is supposed to be for marine related projects, mandated by law, but that is being diverted to 'security needs' measures. The true paradox is that 9/11 will be noted in history as the day that Americans began to hand over freedoms and rights wholesale to be politically correct. Bin Ladin and his cohorts weren't that stupid after all. ha ha
Enough political stuff from me. Sorry guys.
