Mr Jeng:

I will not beat this one into the ground.  But all I did was briefly address
this issue from a "non-economics" oriented perspective.

The first paragraph basically said that, in my opinion, the government is not
capable of running a fishing industry and for this reason I think it would be
a waste of money to build a fishing plant and have it be a state run
industry.  I stressed the same point to Renee: My scepticism of the
government resulted in that particular statement and based on their record

The rest of the post addressed some issues which must be addressed from a
"non-economics" viewpoint.  Why should we blindly cheer when the government
announces that they are building a fishing plant?  Isn't it the prerogative
of Gambians to look at other issues relating to the plant through the finer
lens of a microscope.  This is simply what I addressed and this was mainly in
response to Yahya Drammeh's post which talked about jobs, exports, blah, blah.

I just don't see the correlation between your post and what I was really
trying to address.
