Save Us from Wise Stewardship
Everyone knows how much I love Chesapeake blue crabs and oysters! (And, if not, then read the last sentence again.) But, perhaps, this quote, and the story of how Yonathan Zohar has singlehandedly tried to save blue crabs and fishermen in the Chesapeake Bay through the cunning exploitation of Democratic Senator Barbara Mikulski's earmarks, reveals how ecologically misguided that pursuit might be:
"The program must continue, one way or the other," Zohar said. "The Chesapeake Bay needs it."
That maniacal plea follows this gem:
"There is no other way to conduct this type of program other than to get this type of federal funding. ... And for the blue crab, it was so well- deserved because we wanted to do something before it was too late."
It almost makes me feel swindled for all the backfin and claws me and my parents have consumed through the years.
