I wouldn't bother Karen, these people don't get it. But you can bet your last dollar that when their butts are in a sling they'll be looking for a handout too.

7000 lobstermen (more people than Bath Iron Works employs) as well as the employees of the wholesalers and suppliers potentially being unemployed or on a reduced work week is a huge problem for the State of Maine and for all of us. Yes, we're all hurting, some more than others but these are our neighbors and friends who are in trouble. Let's try to avoid the snide and ridiculous comments and instead help work toward a solution to the problems facing us.report abusekoko

There is a good side to this problem. For years the experts have been crying about overfishing the lobsters and the stock was going to crash. If they start to become harvested less it should give them a chance to rebuild.report abuseYou must be a registered user of MaineToday.com to post a comment. Register or log in.
