Their attitudes and their behavior are precisely the "tragedy" to which you refer.

That's too many big words. You lost my redneck ass.

Meaning I won't "lose" you. You're more than perspicacious enough to apprehend what I'm attempting to put forward and, should it suit your fancy, to formulate a cogent and provocative rejoinder.

PS: should have said, "No, I didn't."

Perspicacious with a periscope, IMO.

I'm trying to understand what you guys are saying but in all honestly it seems like a backhanded compliment.
Rednecks are good people and they care about the environment. In fact they are the only people I have come across in the field and feeding data back to state departments of natural resources.
What value do you see in making provocation of their love of nature? They are not drama queens.

You see? I told you! Yes, it is a compliment.
I think your choice of the term might be inapt, though. I take you to mean hunters, fishermen or outdoorsmen, right? I doubt very much that the majority of these people think of themselves as people some might call rednecks.

Boreas,
Where are you coming from now? It seems like you are playing word games. Whether you call them hunters, fishermen, outdoorsmen, whatever, they are the first line of feedback to state DNRs.
Be an example and make a genuine effort to see their inner beauty. Blowing sunshine up my ass does no good.

Ed, I'm an avid fisherman and my neck is indeed red from the many hours working in the sun. That doesn't make me a redneck in the literal sense. I can only speak for myself but perispicacious with a periscope was an allusion to your obvious smarts and sometimes round about way of getting at things. No ill feelings intended.
As to being for the environment it doesn't mean to my mind closing it off to human use. I want the thing to be husbanded for the future. Here in the desert we have some dickish folk who think they are entitled to off road everything into the ground and tear it up where ever they feel. The land doesn't heal very fast. That needs to stop. In California, the pendulum has swung to some absurd extremes of protecting every little thing because mining and logging interests have striped and pillaged for too long. I'm confident that cooler heads will prevail eventually.
As a fisherman I'm all for upholding the game laws, poachers beware. I would rat out anyone I saw taking overlimits or undersized catches or protected species.
Being green has different connotations and your jesting comment about me being a green weenie got you a redneckian tag back, no big deal. I think you may be a little too prickley but far from a true redneck, IMO. Redneck usually means racist to most folk BTW.

I am prickly. So are you. That's why we are here on PC and not AK.
