He Wants Water
Ahead of Salmon

Anglers fight a Steelhead near the Snake-Clearwater confluence in a past season.  Washington's regional fishing manager says not to expect much opportunity for the species this fall and witer due to a very low run. (FISHING PHOTO CONTEST) I see we are starting up with talks on removing the dams on the Snake River.

I could argue against all the reasons you want to, but I'm only permitted so many words.

At present the argument to remove the dams is if we don't we will soon have no more salmon. So I ask you how long can you go without eating fish?

Right now a person's average age is 70 with or without fish. Now how long can you go without water?

Three to seven days then you die. Clearly water is more important than fish. So let's hear no more about removing the dams.
