Stop the Elitists – Here’s How!

By Frank Galusha, EasyWriter 

See the article dated December 8 in the archives -- see section entitled “Old Fishing Reports” here at MyOutdoorBuddy to read about the attempts by misguided conservationist organizations and their attempt to derail the California Department of Fish and Game’s trout stocking program. 

If you want the DFG to continue planting our lakes with trout, you must start writing to your government agencies and representatives. Our DFG is not the antagonist in this battle...

“Don’t Go Away! The Year’s Top 10 Fish Tales Are Next.”

By Frank Galusha, EasyWriter

 

Nothing is older than yesterday’s newspaper but nothing is more boring or superficial than recycled 15-second sound bites on radio and TV. One dose of news a day is enough for most of us. Our habit of grabbing the dial or the clicker proves that.

 

“But wait!” say the newscasters.  “Breaking news is just ahead.” Alas, the film that used to come at eleven is now “promised” to arrive in 180 seconds or less. It rarely does. The producers have made a game out of delaying delivery sometimes beyond the next commercial break.

 

Howie Mandell’s “We’ll open that case when we come back,” is a thousand times more tantalizing than the news most likely to follow the equally repetitive barrage of TV commercials: male enhancement products, Mighty MendIt, or Madison Avenue’s computer-generated talking geckos, “afflac-ing” ducks and cavorting whales. All are out to sell us some form of insurance we can’t use, afford or need. At least the whales are real outdoor creatures until they are morphed into a logo. Invariably, the “story” we were promised was one we saw in the prior news cycle or one that simply escapes notice altogether.

 

Newspapers and blogs can put some meat around the headlines but you may have to wade a long way to reach the riffle that holds the “Big One.” So let’s go there.
