 Although only remotely connected with boating I would like to
bring up the matter of a National Saltwater Fishing Licence about 
to be discussed(voted on ?) in Washington(D.C.) .
 What the hell does it have to do with non-salt water states (this measure
is being proposed by a politician from Michigan for crying out loud).
 How many salt water state netters out there????
 There are 23 salt water states,24 if you include Pennsylvania(lower reaches
of the Delaware River are tidal) this should be enough to quash the measure
if enough residents of those salt water start lobbying their reps & senators.
 The proposed amounts of the licence are not what I object as they seem low
<$20 /yr but that the issue is being instigated by someonefrom a state that
really should not be involved in the issue at all.
  
                 My apologies to anyone not blessed(cursed?) with a salt
                 water boundary and this is in noway intended to offend
                 you.
