NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?
While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing.

Whitehoudse is another ENGO shill ramming windmills up everyones asses.
On top of that he was implicated in the insider trading scam that so convieniently allows or federal politicians to use inside information to fatten up their stock portfolio's legally. They are allowed to do the exact same thing that put Martha Stewart in jail. Of course Mr. Whitehouse knew nothing about it….yeah right.
He's gotta be in on the juice money for the blow hard windmill fairy dust bunch.
These bums have set themselve up, man.
