If you fit into any one or more of the above categories there is no question but what you
DON'T belong here. Your input is neither solicited nor welcome. 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.) |
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).
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.
Just two FACTS to keep in mind:
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.

Overfishing,Excellent "Comments-,you got'em Mr.Lovgren!!!!!!!!!!

there are truly two sides to every story."
"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."

and don't go around telling folks what's best for them...."

The germ of destruction of our nation
is in the power of the judiciary. An irresponsible body - working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall render powerless the checks of one branch over the other and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated."
