David...before any of these well wishers gets you thinking you are the office dwelling enemy, think it all through. I love these people who only think of things from their perspective.

This has caused the fishing industry great hardship, and they have turned to the government for help. This has put a burden on the farmers. Of course prices won't support the new regulations, so everyone including the big corporate farmers suffer. But the Big farmers can survive. It's the small ones that feel the threat.

When in fact, it is the complications of society, industrialization, and a growing popultaion. But I'd still rather live in the US than anywhere else. Take Care
