Ed: GREAT analogy..... then, I too, am a "Conservationist" Cause I realize that God DID give man dominion over the earth and the animals, but a responsibility to take care of them and the earth, but NOT to worship them like ya say....

As a TU member, I have determined that I am a "conservationist" not an "environmentalist".  Taking care of the environment is one thing, worshipping it and putting animals on a higher plane than us is another!

Trying to mess with someone who's legally fishing is one thing, but a lot of anglers here give the sport a bad name.  They leave their extra large beer cans right next to the worm cans, on the bank.  I think ignorance is a bad thing however it's expressed, let's be careful where we go with this.
