This was always the result I feared from popularizing the native fish hobby. I
have mentioned it many times. Most people feel that the available pool of
potential native hobbyists is, and always will be, too small to attract much
notice. I hope that this turns out to be the case.
What kind of legislation are they considering?

I think I understand the true meaning of diversity. If I attack traditional
values it's "free speech." If I attack the protected groups it's "hate speech."
