Licensing is not the ultimate answer. Common sense and good judgment

Licensing is simply taxation. TESTING is the problem on the
roadways. The tests are stupidly easy so even the dumbest humans can
pass them. That's wrong. Once cursory tested, the only thing they
test for is cursory vision until they are senile. That's what the
problem is on the roads...inadequate standards that need to be
REtested, especially after they reach retirement when things start to
fall apart....where I am, now.

How about a mental stability test for you, Larry? Should nice guys like
you who are as nutty as a fruitcake be allowed on the waterways?


Harry,
It appears that this is the only reason you come to rec.boats so you can
throw out one line insults.

Your wife, who as a social worker, has helped numerous people with all
kinds of problems should have given you a little more respect for those
with mental illness. I am not commenting whither or not Larry has a
mental problem, but on your habit of using mental illness as a insult.
It would be similar to making fun of someone because they had type 1
diabetes.
