"Two guys die trying to make a living and then it's all the fault of America?"

ah, you missed my point

"What makes you think these fish were destined for America? This is a world wide hobby. Maybe they were collecting fish to be sold in Japan, or Thailand, or Hong Kong, or Germany, or France, or Norway, or Bahrain."

true - but the US imports more than 90% of all ornamental fish/corals in the world according to MAC and other sources... which in itself places a lot of responsibility of the causes of collection practices.

"Out of site, out of mind; this is human nature, not something restricted to Americans. If you have never been out of this country, you would have no idea what I am talking about."

/sigh, your knowledge of the world and human behavior is extensive I see

"Nice way to throw in the global warming factor; as if one has anything to do with the other. "

If you look beyond the surface and silos you'll have your answer =)
