Licensing is not the ultimate answer. Common sense and good judgment is
what is needed. At any age!


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.

I really don't think that Harry intended to deliver a psychiatric diagnosis
and then insult people with mental illness. I think, rather, he meant to
comment on Larry's fruitcakiness in terms of socio/political ideology.

Personally, I think that Larry finds himself "falling part" (his own words)
and uses his own state as grounds for limiting the liberty of others.
Perhaps because he thinks that his own liberty is going to be sacrificed
anyway, so it's not much of a loss if others lose theirs as well? Who knows?

Typical nannyism.
