LF,

Some of the folks mentioned HAVE INDEED spoken and/or written about the topic. For example, a recent article by Dave Whitlock made mention of the pollution problems and the slowing growth rates of the trout. And one could do as you have done and CHALLENGE these leaders of our "community" to action without resorting to namecalling or cursing. That sort of language belittles the author, not the intended target. But, more importantly, such language can only serve to further ALIENATE such people. It has and will NEVER serve to motivate them to join a cause.
