It has been a rule for ever that a Capt. of a vessel is
responsible for any and all damage caused by his or her
boat. That is law. Bout time you are responsible for your
actions

Damn! It is a concrete bridge. Shame on the locals and the state for
letting it get in such deplorable condition that the wake from a 21'

boat
would cause it to come down. Boaters should sue the state for letting

the
bridge become a hazard that might fall down. There are highway funds

raised
in every state via the gas tax. Some like here in California steal it

for
the general fund via an IOU. Reminds me of the jury on the SE that

awarded
the state $69 million for lost oil drilling revenues from Exxon and then
added $111 billion in punitive damages. One of the jurors said a major
reason they added the huge punitive damage award was because the state

was
in bad financial straights. More tossing of personal responsibility out

the
window. State overspends and so a jury figures they can screw a
corporation. Maybe it was Harry on the Jury.



Considering the fraud and thievery perpetrated upon the public by the
energy companies and many other corporations, a bit of payback from time
to time only begins to equalize the outrages.

Well, lets fine the Union pension funds a $87 billion to pay for the Iraq
effort. The Union pension funds were major players in after hour mutual
fund trading. They screwed the rest of the people in the pension fund, lets
screw them!
