Default Licensing alternative

Oh I see ,,, like the Border Patrol!

Or the Drug Enforcement Authority?

How dumb of me ,, of course..

======================

I always thought sailors were self sufficient ,, people who set out on the
ocean for adventure ,, risk takers ,,,

Not on this newsgroup.. nope... the government loving, uncle sam will save
me crowd is here..

What a bunch of losers. And to think I actually thought some of you might
be worth a tally ho...

I would not want you near my boat. A bunch of cry babies, you need the
government to tell you what to do, when to do it, and you even want a
license!

You make me sick!


Sailors? That is a joke... most of you government will save me liberal
weenies aren't deserving of the term.

===================

Roger Long ,,, ya. Long winded. If his boat ever gets wet he can call
uncle sam..... please come and save me,,, my boat is dirty ,,,,, what do I
do ,,,,, help me ,,, help me ,,,,

I'm shipping out ... leaving the port.....

The water here is polluted.

"and an authority to enforce same,"
above quote lifted from my previous reply might cover that.

Oh,, you mean like the roads in the USA,,, is that the kind of
environment you are talking about?

Drunk drivers, people who have no licenses, illegals driving all over and
they don't care it they kill you ..no insurance in Mexico..

And you want to bring that to the local ocean?

Are you F'n nuts?

Roger ,, are you a Communist? What part of "leave me, my boat, my life,
my life on the water" out of your socialist ideas don't you get?

A fee isn't a tax? Sure,,, no, it is a fee. Are you truly so nuts as
this?

The reason we, me, us, go sailing is to get away from authority. To be
FREE. Let the wind drive us forward, the sea our friend ....

But that isn't good enough for you ,, nope. You want to ruin sailing.



Actually good sensible sailors want & need some kind of minimal
protection from irresponsible, don't tell me what to do, type of boaters.
Without rules and regulations *and an authority to enforce same*, chaos
would take over.
Not the type of environment I'd want to take my family sailing in.
