<<fish are NATURAL....water flow in our rivers is NATURAL.....the Native Americans were here long before us....and their existance is NATURAL>>

I gotta tel you chris you don't understand the problem. ...

Native Americans were what? 1% of the current population? Their impact on the wild stocks were as natural as any other natural predator....Now we've got 300M people in every part of the country eating salmon. It's not just a matter of stopping pollution or tearing down some dams. Fish stocks all around the world are being depleted due to overfishing. The overfishing ain't just done outa meanness . The world has more people than it can feed. People need and want animal protein. And since we as a species have not the slightest interest in controlling our population we can farm an inferior product ,continue depleting the worlds wild stocks to extinction or go hungry.

".the Native Americans were here long before us....and their existence is NATURAL" one of the funniest posts I heave read. First off they might not have been here first, check out the Kenewick Man.
Even if they were in one place for 10,000 years vs 500 years in a place that's 5 BILLION years old, I wouldn't call that more natural it's a microsecond in the scheme of things
