My take on the new $15 duck stamp requirement

Subsistence hunters are upset with the new requirement of having to shell out $15 for a duck stamp now.  Some of them said that requiring them to purchase a stamp is unfair -- and impossible for many to comply with.  Hunters saying this is a crock if I ever heard one.

You see, I have lived in a village where everyone "couldn't afford" to do certain things.  There were three stores to buy groceries and what not.  One store was operated by the village council.  They set up a card reader for purchases.  Now this card reader wasn't set up with credit/debit cards in mind.  Its purpose was to accommodate food stamp users who had the Quest cards loaded with food stamps.  Now these people "couldn't afford" to buy heating oil, so they would cut wood to burn in wood stoves.  They couldn't afford to buy food, so they had food stamp cards.  The list goes on with what they "couldn't afford" to do.

Now here's the reason I'm going to cry about this- this was a damp village, meaning they could possess a certain amount of alcohol each month.  They couldn't sell it, but it happens every day.  Now these people that "couldn't afford" to do anything somehow managed to dish out $70 for a bottle of booze.  EVERY day.  How is this possible?  You can't afford to buy food, so you apply for food stamps and get approved.  So you get free money every month to help buy your food.  Because you "can't afford" to do it on your own.  But you can afford to buy $70 worth of booze everyday?  WTF, Chuck?  What's wrong with this picture?  Don't forget that $70 is a low price for booze in a damp or dry village up north.  In some places, the price is 2-3 times that.  Everyone can manage to pay big dollars for booze, but say that paying a measly $15 for a duck stamp just like everyone else is impossible to comply with?  Gimme a f*cking break, two faced boozers.

Don't forget the internet, satellite dishes, fancy snowmachines that they can afford.

Anyway, I could ramble on and on about these people that "can't afford" to do certain things, but I'll keep it simple.  Shut up and buy the f*ckin stamp.  You look stupid complaining because this crap makes it big in the news for the whole world to see.
