Fish don’t vote so it’s preordained they’ll suffer harshly.

…and once the wild fish are gone, it frees us to build little ticky-tack McMansions along the bank – and crap fry out of a truck at the bridge pool.

Most of which die as parr from the phosphate rich runoff from our lawn.

Then we bemoan the fate of the wild salmon – wondering how others can be so insensitive to their plight.

It’s a tired old pattern. People vote, fish don’t – fish take it in the shorts.
