Hi Steve, I'd have to beg to differ with you. If we don't conserve what we
are paddling in, well, how well do you role in an oil slick? Resource
protection and strong conservation are what being a responsible citizen and
outdoor recreator are all about. This is indeed a tragic turn for ACA to
take. yours, tom
