Reply #7: It is heartbreaking even at a distance, knowing less [View All]

I can easily see why the right wing approach works. It really does link Kerry and Markey with the elites, scientists and environmentalists; while they are with the poor fishermen. What is sad is that the result of not having limits is predictable and not pretty. Yet, I would bet that there might be fishermen who, even understanding the science, may want to ignore it and "live for today" - hoping that the fish will outlast their need to fish. What actually surprised me more were the few, but clear, posts that have said that the Jones bill and Brown's bill do not change the fundamental problem.

Wasn't today the day that Kerry was to meet with Locke and the head of NOAH? It is hard to see how, even if they agree to changes to correct the unfairnesses, that it could be done fast enough to get Senators to let the changes have a chance.
