So how do you know if they're Canadian shrimp or Alaskan shrimp? Again, rhetorical; but you get my point.  |
That one's easy - the Canadian shrimp have good health insurance and access to inexpensive prescriptions.

 Yes but they have to wait for hours & hours just to see a doctor and they're armed forces suck.

Actually they tend to get into emergency rooms faster than we do for acute care. Elective surgeries do require a longer wait though but I digress.... As regards THEIR armed forces, I'll leave those comparisons to others.  |

yeah why spend money on guns when your neighbor covers your a$$ any how?
On a more serious note what military they have has done a great job helping us in Iraq. Talked to a marine that served with them and did patrols with them. nice guys.
But back to SHRIMP. Why our season is so small has a lot to do with the fraudulent way our state counts them. You see they fly over with a plane , count the pots and assume everyone gets a full limit and multiples by the number of pots. Almost as much of a waste of time as the way they count crab. They take the number of crab licenses sold ( they come with the combo licence) and multiply by the allowable limits. So the guy in spokane that crabs once a year gets counted as catching as many crab as the guy that crabs every day. What both these methods have in common is not REALITY.

Pat, since you are a lawyer, why don't you file a suit asking for a declaratory judgement about what the regs mean?
