Interstingly, the very worst, most widely damaging crimes are financial and economic in kind like those of the banksters and people like Bernie Madoff. Such criminals are not retarded or in anyway deprived and you wouldn't find them as children torturing small animals.

At first, what is now NOAA Fisheries (NMFS) argued that salmon runs could not be rebuilt above the dams without diminishing the ocean fishery by hydro impacts and tribal catch. By 1987, the political argument shifted to a scientific theory stating that even unhealthy, inbred salmon populations would be adversely affected by "hatchery fish." Despite NMFS's allegedly scientific objections, tribes succeeded in restoring runs to the Clearwater, the Umatilla and other rivers and rebuilding runs in the Yakima, the Lower Snake, and the Imnaha. NOAA seems to be the one federal agency that has resisted recovery through these tried and true methods and has continued to side with exaggerated conclusions from limited studies like that on Hood River steelhead.
