The findings were for edible fish, as in the small percentage of fish of the ocean the public consumes. Shrimp etc as well.
I work at a grocery store and we have had a shortage of Salmon, shrimp and Tilapia for quite a while, and our bullitens usually say "fish shortage".
there are always shortages of certain types of fish. I'm definitely not saying it's a good thing, but don't go around telling people that every species of fish on the planet will be wiped out within 45 years.
The general level of apathy is way too high for there to be any type of rebellion or revolution.
i second that sentiment. the vast majority of americans could not care less. if any rebellion occurs it will be when third world countries (or developing nations or whatever term is PC these days) decide they've had enough of being fucked over and launch a full scale counterattack against the western world. if that occurs, i will happily take up arms. long as it comes from africa or asia. im not signing up with the islamo-fascists or the capitalists.
problem is, when they take over we'll be no better off. not unless about half the earth's population is killed in the process.
Revolution is not something fixed in ideology, nor is it something fashioned
to a particular decade. It is a perpetual process embedded in the
Human Spirit.

Revolution? Ha, cute. We really do have it too fuckin' good in this country. Is it perfect? Hell no, but that's a condition of the fallibility of human judgement. "Oh how wonderous it will be when we revolt, and make everything harmonious and beautiful, and install a 'just' government!" Give me a break. At best, your concept of a glorious revolution is naive and idealistic. If you hate the current political climate so badly, why don't you run for office and attempt to make a difference in a non-violent manner. Because a revolution on the scale of which you speak could not be achieved bloodlessly.
Thank you for being realistic. Revolution? What a joke.
Persnally, I don't think people will do anything until they are forced to do something in order to survive, or to hang onto all the crap that they/we take for granted - material crap.
People are just too apathetic.
Then again...Castro et al managed to otherthrow the U.S in Cuba, and the Ruskies in 1917 overthrew an entrenched sysyem/society off of their own backs, for example, so who knows.
Revolution is possible. I just think the climate needs to be right, and at the moment I don't feel that it is. I mean, if we couldn't prevent our Governments invading Iraq - and the majority of the population rose up in protest before the invasion - then how are we gonna prevent an environmental catastrophe? I reckon nature will just have to put us right herself.
That's pretty much the way I see it too. People won't revolt unless they feel it's necessary to survive. In Cuba, the people were very desperate and living under a military dictatorship. It is a small country, and was fairly easy for a guerilla army to take over (and establish a new military dictatorship, albeit a more fair one). In Russia, the Bolsheviks were not great in numbers. I'm not an expert on Russian history, but I think the Tzarist regime at that point in history was fairly easy to overthrow and it didn't need a mass uprising. It wouldn't be nearly as easy in the United States, at least at the present moment. We would need at least a decade of chaos. And I doubt having a revolution would solve that chaos.
