I was just offended that people were using 'environmentalist' as a slang
foul word. These are the only people in the west that are really fighting
for our habitat as a full-time job. I'd hate to think where we'd be without
them. Sure, TU and other groups do a lot of good work here, but here in MT
it's mostly just buying water so it's not used for irrigation. The real
enviros protect our forests and spawning tributaries. And I have friends
that do it. The Native Forest Network is some of the most tree-hugging
people you've ever met, and a lot of them fish, when they're not chained to
a tree of course :)
I just consider myself a hippie I guess. I don't know how else a trout bum
can classify themself. I live in nature many days of the year, and I
believe in conserving natural resources. Mostly I think people use much
more than they really need. Like when you go to McDonald's you get almost
as much trash as food for a small example. So please don't talk about
randomly kicking someone's ass(especially mine) for believing times must
change for us exist somewhat harmoniously with our planet.
I apologize if I was perhaps too harsh earlier, but this is a very heated
debate in the country, and I anticipated some major flack for it.

Todd: You are taking Jimi's comments out of context (I think).. he said we
SHOULD take care of the planet... But there are ppl , say from Green Peace,
who will MURDER HUMANS for killing a fish.... Surely you don't agree with
that????? Chuck
