Just Call Fishing An Addiction

I don't understand how Obama gets all teary eyed over aquatic lifestyles being terminated due to the Gulf of Mexico Oil-Leak Crisis. On his speech from the Oval Office last night, he didn't seem too concerned about terminating the entire Oil Industry, calling it an 'addiction', and saying that 'we need to move towards a green economy' and furthermore 'inaction will not be tolerated'. So what's that 'change' going to entail? Answer: People's old lifestyles ending (ones connected to the oil industry), and them having to adjust to a new lifestyle, presumably a green one.

Now follow me here: Fishing can be seen as cruel in a way (eg: to the poor fish who get killed in order for people to eat them). There is no biological requirement that we eat fish. This is simply an 'addiction' to fish, because it's what folks have always eaten-not because it's healthy or anything else. It's simply sticking with the old for the sake of not rocking the boat. Nothing prevents folks from becoming vegetarian, but they just have to have that fish!

So what I'm saying is just call 'fishing as a way of life' an addiction, same exact way as Obama calls it whenever people are forced to use oil-products, and then the whole ordeal of their lifestyles terminating won't seem like a bad thing at all. Everyone can adapt and change and that implies an end of the old way, and a movement towards a new way. If Obama can be stern and resolute when it comes to ending the Oil Industry and all that entails, then he certainly can get a heart for fish, and demand that those people change their lifestyle as well. Save the fish, dammit!
