Thank you for your consideration, Kurtfish

This is good. I will take this route and donate the game to some charity - expose to more kids this way.

Did you ever say anything to the guy in the blue shirt?

[kurtfish]

I really was at a loss to say anything to the t-shirt guy that looked like he may have been a UCSD student with earphones on. I supposed I should have said, cute shirt, I saw a bunch of little school kids wearing similar shirts at the SD MLPA meeting talking about South Pacific Coral Reefs with a very cure diarama.

We all need to buck-up, Merry Christmas Kurtfish

We all want to slap that stupid look off their face and rightfully so, but they aren't worth my time and don't have the balls to fight it out hand to hand - they're all talk and half a sissy anyway.

I'm going to continue to catch their fish and starve their Sea Lions. Continue to offend them with my presence and rude behavior - and pray - just pray - that one of them has a momentary lapse of reason and is stupid enough to physically confront me. :lol:

Although I do apprecaite Wade's suggestion and sense of humor this is not a laughing matter. I am concerned by the apathy the recent MLPA posts have garnered on these forums. If we sit back and accept the faulty MLPA process we are walking down a dark road with no way to trun around. After they get their network of MPAs don't you think they will want the entire coast to be one big MPA? Water contact with sunscreen and surfwax contaminating the water is a big problem for the sea critters as well. Surfrider Foundation does not realize who they are in-bed.

We need to take a stand now and not wait until we are actually kicked-out of our local waters. I posted in the sell / trade forum a $1,000 discount coupon for the Royal Polaris 10-day or more trip and I will pledge the funds from the winning bid for this disocount coupon to the MLPA legal battle.

We know our current regulations are working and our fish stocks are healthy. We can't let the wackos that use Global Warming Science techniques to justify the closure of our local waters. We have enjoyed a banner year fishing in our inshore waters. If we want to continue to be able to share these bounties with our kids and grandkids we need to fight now.

Merry Christmas from Kurtfish, Luc, Ryn & Lisa

Though I still think that Wade's comment was perfect...I get the point Kurt and just sent more money that I don't have to KAF. I do think they should keep their video game. I'd rather them save the money spent on shipping costs. I can think of at least one better way to share the joy of fishing with the kids...get them away from the video games and take them fishing!

Don't get discouraged Kurt. This is how politics goes. It is not a matter of right or wrong, it's a matter of who kills the most apathy and gets the largest turnout. And it takes these types of unrewarding efforts to do just that, so thanks. And thanks for donating your coupon to the cause. That's good stuff and is much appreciated! Merry Christmas from my family to yours.
