This has caused me to ponder about something I learned way back last century (40 years ago) in my freshman American Heritage class: The concept of Self Interest vs Public Good. Human nature is typically oriented toward the former but a civil society requires a healty dose of the latter as I remember. I have wondered what harm it would be for me to "sneak" across the county line a few miles up the road to fish my normal places where I know I could easily maintain significant social distances and not harm anyone. In fact, I usually lean toward doing what I want if it doesn't harm anyone. However, this time I have decided to stay close to home and try to do my part even though I know I could go to another county without endangering anyone. I'm not tooting my own horn, just something I decided to do on this one. Everyone has to do make their own decision but I guess in the interest of "public good" I decided to try and do something for everyone's good, and not just for my personal enjoyment. Hopefully if most people will do the same we can snuff this sucker out and be back to normal sooner rather than later. Just my $.02
