Random thoughts on fish and politics

Just me blathering about the "conventional wisdom" being bandied about by our presidential potentials...

Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day.

Teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.

Unless, of course, he's allergic to fish, in which case you may have just committed involuntary manslaughter.

Give a woman a fish, she'll find a way to feed at least a family of five for three days.

Teach a man to gut and clean a fish, and you turn him vegetarian.

Or the Republican strategy: teach a man to fish, then allow your corporate cronies to pollute all the fish-carrying waters with heavy metals so that anyone who actually eats the fish they catch becomes literally retarded enough to vote Republican. Then find as many ways to monetize the act of fishing as possible through requiring expensive licensure, which requires only very specific and exorbitantly supply-and-demand-priced-out-of-the-middle-class fishing tools be used. (I never said Republicans are stupid, just that they more closely resemble Sith Lords than the Christians they portray themselves to be).

I prefer land food. 99% of seafood makes me horribly nauseous. I'll just find/enlarge/dig a pit and chase deer and other such game into it, is that a viable alternative?
