Okay, NPR had on some gardening stuff, so I surf the am dial and find Rush yesterday. These are not exact quotes but the sentiment is accurate:
"What's this about Campbell river salmon being endangered... All Salmon are the same, there's no difference between the Campbell river salmon and any other salmon, it's just an excuse the environmental wackos use to put honest hardworking fishermen out of business and stop lumber operations... There's plenty of salmon out there, can you name another endangered species we eat?" And finally the, piece de resistance:" I say we should eat every endangered species, because if we did, capitolism would enter into it and ensure there would be plenty of that species in order to ensure longterm profit" Wow... There was of course more, but I passed out and awoke hours later in a ditch muttering "ditto... ditto... ditto..." Imagine what he could have done on Monday Night Football with thinking like that...
