Well Marley, maybe them having the right to take your boat on a whim is not
big deal. Remember they have also given themselves the right to come into
your house in the middle of the night and take you. And they don't have to
tell anyone they did so and you have no right to see a lawyer or anyone else
for that matter. GW is one of the last people on earth I trust with that
power.

So what's the answer to my question? I'll ask it again in case you
forgot:


How many skippers have lost
their boats?



The answer to your remarkably ignorant question Dave, is that is NOT the
issue. Your government is now in the legal position of being able to READ
YOUR INTENTIONS and act against you if they (in their unfettered opinions)
think that you are thinking of heading for Cuba.

You are lamely attempting to suggest that since it (might) not have
happened yet the law is meaningless. That is a stupid, ignorant and
foolhardy assumption.

Perspective: Teams of lawyers and politicians carefully chose the wording.
Resident Bush signed it into LAW.

By suggesting that no one has lost their vessel YET, you are implying that
the effort taken incarefully writing the document, and passing the law was
meaningless.

Do you honestly think that a law was written and enacted just to give the
creators something to do?

Nope, it was CLEARLY written to allow the government to READ YOUR THOUGHTS
and act on their assumptions.

You should be afraid Dave. But you are far too busy trying to be right to
see what's obviousl.

Pityful really.
