Rated PG by:

In October 2005, A O U passed 500,000 hits , (honest numbers too, not one of those bogus counters). It took 6 months to make the first 1,000 (September 1996) and nearly a year to 10,000 (February 1997). Traffic has been increasing every month and now AOU is doing over 4,000 hits some months and climbing. Not too shabby, I'd say for a private unadvertised and unfunded site.

Nothing you will find here will be of any benefit for you (at least I sure as hell hope it won't) and may, in fact, even cause you to have doubt in your belief systems. You are living in a self righteous delusionary world, are firmly convinced of the RIGHTNESS of your position and truly cannot afford to have it challenged.

Nor do I have any interest in hearing from you.
(Note- If you are NOT one of the above and think it is immature petulant sour grapes, PLEASE check out the "Paper printed in the National Fisherman" or "The Fallacy of Scientific Evidence" or "Vindication" or "Overfishing" (addresses on left) before jumping to any hasty conclusions.)

Probable Anal Orifi

State Fishery Managers subsidized by NMFS - Decent people for the most part (with one or two notable exceptions here in NJ) but usually heavily indebted to NMFS for funding, support, etc. therefore generally unable and/or not allowed to be objective in their viewpoints and actions.
Tenured university types with an opinion and other "Hot Tub Evangelists" - Talk about insufferably arrogant blowhards shooting their mouths off from a safe haven with nothing to lose. They often remind me of the virgin who is an expert on sex..... ("I've read all the literature." Proclaimed in a deep pompous sonorous tone.

Producers of Environmental Specials who take the obligatory cheap shot at Commercial Fishermen. The Absolute Nadir of Political Correctness. Sanctimonious feel gooders ("who've also read all the literature") salving a vaguely guilty conscious by lashing out at straw men created by NMFS. "We can't do anything about urban or agricultural runoff, the paving/building over of the estuaries, industrial discharges, killing water from power plants....... , so we'll just take a cheap shot at somebody (who, incidently,has been the least culpable in the perceived destruction). It makes us feel better and keeps people's minds off the real problems."

Pompous pontificating "Save-The-Worlders" and other Eco-Nazis - All those extremist and alarmist Green Peacers, et al who are composed, in some (or at least the loudest) part by the above, and whose biggest trip is making the 6 o'clock news. Or raising money for the cause (which only incidentally has some pretty hefty 6-figure salaries at the top), or ....

(Note- Received verbatim from a web surfer: "Long ago I tried being a 'greenie' and was a Greenpeace employee - it came as a nasty and educational shock one night when I was quoting the Greenpeace campaign figures and was pulled up short by a professional Fisherman who showed me how the way the info was presented was quite open to misinterpretation (shall we say) - It took me a while to figure out that the organisation pays it's big salaries to professional protestors - because when I went our national headquarters to try to accurately research what I was trying to talk about there was no accessible data - just a small collection of press clippings.

"Needless to say it didn't take too long to see that if cameras weren't there greenpeace weren't - and the dose of reality therapy that fisherman provided made it a lot easier for me to leave Greenpeace - I still agree with the principles espoused by Professor Paul Erlich(I can never remember how that's spelt) but as YET have not enough education to find my own way of doing something useful - I may be land rather than sea based in my concerns but I am glad you take the effort to present your views here - you're bookmarked and I'll be back!")

Note - Eco-Nazis are "Proscribers" - Their agenda is "Don't do it (unless WE regulate it) and we don't care what the consequences are to you, to your family, to your town, to your way of life, to ....."

True Environmentalists are "Prescribers" - Their agenda is "You're doing bad stuff that hurts me. How about you and I sit down and figure out how you can do your thing without causing as much damage to me. That way there's enough room for both of us."

I think of myself as a True Environmentalist and you will find a lot of "Prescriptions" on this site.

People who are uncomfortable thinking for themselves. They who unquestionably believe the propaganda put out by NMFS and its handmaidens and remain blissfully, comfortably and dangerously ignorant of the real truths in the world. It makes life so much easier to not have to think. Practitioners of The Pangloss Syndrome.
Rabid anti/pro-(Abortion, Censorship, Profits, Growth) and other compulsive controller types. Jeez, what a bore.

Flamers and Flamees without a sense of humor. Self explanatory. Those who do flame (and/or respond) with humor add oregano and jalapeno to our lives, and often bring light and knowledge an ignorant world.

C A U T I O N -
From this point on you may encounter language that some will find offensive. (note- not salacious, merely descriptive). You will find no pornography here, although you can read of far fouler obscenities.

Well, if you've come this far, I expect it's only fair to let you know who I am and what this page is all about. My name is Gösta H. Lovgren (more widely known as That Fucking Swede in much of my universe).

I am completely without guile and subterfuge. What you see is what you get. There are no ulterior motives nor do I want to start any militias (though I do believe our government is in the initial stages of incipient failure and needs a good enema or it will eventually collapse of its own weight.)
Generally it will be about my experiences as a born-raised-retired Commercial Fisherman that began in the days of "Wooden Boats and Iron Men" (earning my first "full share" at 9 years old) and have seen it (d)evolve into what it is today - an industry populated by greedy opportunists fawning to (and in some cases manipulating) an even greedier, more hypocritical self-serving jealous government regulatory agency.

No time consuming graphics displays are planned or anticipated (Well there are a few but they are absolutely necessary {grin}). What is planned (at this stage - April -1996) is to upload many papers, perspectives, opinions I have either written or come across and saved over the years. They will run the gamut from the deviousness of our government ( and the fears I have for my country) to politically incorrect economic papers (Keiretsu and Russian Land reform specifically) to just dumb humor that has tickled me (homilies and bromides included).

Enough of

"Chewed Up Green Grass"

Or:

(As it's known the world over ....

but you and I know what

it's REALLY called, don't we?)

Here's the good stuff:

(Note- Don't try to read everything here at one or two sittings. There's an eclectic mix and a lot to absorb. Read one or two, take some time to think about it and come back at a later time and try some more, or email me and show me the error of my ways, correct me if you find me factually incorrect, criticize me if warranted (I'm sure it won't be {grin}).
Some of the papers carry some pretty heavy economic analysis that is presented in a deceptively simple format. Don't be fooled. Think about it.
If you have valid criticism, send it on. We're all adults here . Understand one thing clearly though. I consider NMFS, and its fellow travelers, as demonstrated enemies of the fishing industry and by extension our country. I make no apologies and feel no obligation to treat them civilly nor to respond. I will (and do) respond to all others though.

Swede's Sshtuff

Just two FACTS to keep in mind:
After 30+ years of domestic "fishery management" total US seafood imports rose from about 25% in 1975 to nearly 70% in 1995, and are still rising.)
There has NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER been a fish species or fishery that has been damaged beyond recovery by a commercial fishery or commercial fishermen. That is a sophisticated fabrication put out by people who know better (for their own interests and agendas) perpetuated by people who don't want to know better (for their own interests and agendas).

Due to a request from a Christian Grandmother (and fellow Ponder), the papers that contain profanity will have a "sanitized" version prefixed by(S). I use strong language to convey strong anger, even outrage, that some people find offensive. For those people I offer the sanitized versions.

"Excellent - Comments-,I've been a commercial fisherman most of my adult life. This is the first well articulated piece I ve seen that EXACTLY matches my own experiences and feelings. It's profoundly disappointing and insulting to see those with many decades of real experience ignored while graduates of programs lasting less than the time it takes to pay off a car nowdays, people who cannot make a living from the sea and have no real overview accorded credibility."

"Excellent -Thank-you...finals are coming...it's after midnight...I hope part two is as evocative and informative as part one has been ;)"

"Excellent- Damn good read. And here I should be studying for finals. By doing this you champion not just fishermen but all men & women who live responsibly, don't pass the buck, and don't go around telling folks what's best for them...."

First they came for the hackers,
but I never did anything
illegal with my computer,
so I didn't speak up.
Then they came for the pornographers,
but I thought there was too much smut
on the Internet anyway,
so I didn't speak up.
Then they came for the anonymous remailers,
but a lot of nasty stuff gets sent
from anon.sex.fil,
so I didn't speak up.
Then they came for the encryption programs,
but I could never figure out how
to work PGP anyway,
so I didn't speak up.
And then they came for me.

Global Warming
You just might feel yourself getting hot under the collar after reading this about "Global Warming" and think of the money wasted on foolish research.
"The global warming hypothesis has been thoroughly evaluated. It does not agree with the data and is, therefore, not validated. "

ABSOLUTE BEST SEARCH ENGINE ON THE NET. (Pre-Google) Try it, you'll like it.
This baby is FAST!!!

"You see, the bottom line is.. that the criminalization of prostitution, gambling and dope has made an organized criminal out of our own government. Think about it."

Junk Science. Where Fishery Science belongs, together with Global Warming, Global Cooling (remember that one a few years ago?), Free Energy from Nuclear Plants (remember when it was gonna cost more to send the bills out than it was to produce?), ....
