These little nuggets sort of sums up what we're discussing.

Nothing raises the bile in my throat like Lee greenwods jingoistic treacle and tripe gad bless the USA.

Don't need to tell you these anti-spear fishing racist are still out there. They're the same assholes who think wolves would decimate their deer hunting opportunities. They're the same assholes who regularly slaughtered bald eagles because they believed they destroyed fisheries (and could carry of lambs or even human babies). I've listened to their bullshit too many times. I'm quite sure that the lakes where there is at least a portion of the waters given over to tribal control are infinitely more biodiverse and healthy than those entirely controlled by the states' own DNRs. In fact, my anecdotal observation is that waterways where tribes have some control-- with guidance from their own aquatic biologists (scientists!)-- are veritable walleye factories and produce more and more walleye all of the time in a virtuous cycle (I.E. Lake of The Woods). Meanwhile the rest of the lakes become raped out, whale-sized-carp and little shitting snake pike filled, jet-ski riven hellholes that feature floating islands of White Claw cans, cigarette butts, and dirty diapers in plastic bags (I.E. the Pettenwell flowage in WI).

This is great news! Also contributing is the disproportionate number of smokers in their camp maybe? Possibly? Die MAGAts, die! Faster, Covid-cat, Kill! Kill!

Fillmore East has always been in my top ten.
