Why do you expect this, when there is evidence to the contrary?

Nobody is asking you to single-handedly save the oceans. Start by installing Seafood Watch and do your best to select a sustainable option any time you're eating seafood.

This is why crony capitalism is forever bound to a love affair with the state; it relieves us of any responsibility for building real communities.
Governments have never - and I believe will never - regulate society into behavior befitting the respect due to the Earth. We have given profiteers and their lobbyists access to a single point of failure; we can't be surprised when they utilize it.
