People think to much. Almost everyone has a passion for something, right? So what would this world be like if everyone bashed someone’s way of life. How would Hippie Hypocrite like it if someone got pissed because tofu is cruel to soy beans? Don’t take yourselves to serious folks because in the end Mother Earth will shake us ALL off like a bunch of ticks!

It makes me sick that true, so called hard core fisherman are crucifying this poor guy. You may not buy his story or agree with his decision, but what law natural or unnatural did he violate?
