A privilege to drive your car? You sir, are a socialist and part of the
downfall of this country.


I have some socialist leanings ( I believe in social security, and that
everyone should be able to afford health care). But the folks causing
the downfall of this great country are the fascists in this
administration who have and are continually tramping on the constitution.


Everyone has the opportunity to purchase health care just as they have the
opportunity to purchase food, shelter and clothing.


If you feel so strongly about this issue then why don't you set up a
foundation to pay for the health care or health care insurance costs of
those that don't have the money for health care or health care insurance.
Or better yet, why don't you spend your own money to pay for some one
else's health care insurance. Be the example!


Everyone also has the opportunity to purchase an 80 foot yacht.


Tell me what the least expensive family health insurance plan costs in
Rochester NY. At least take a guess.


And everyone has the opportunity to take their political tripe to
a.politics.

So, what do you think of my new boat selection?

Yeah, really? No one even commented. I thought I would hold off, but
geeze. Anyway, I like the lines of the hull on many of their smaller
boats like the 14 and 17's. My only comment is how big it is and how
difficult it might be to single launch and such, Do you boat in open
or protected water, if protected, I might even go a couple feet
smaller. If open water, get a good skid protector on the keel, and
some good bumpers.


I fooled with one in the water at the marina where I tried it out. It's
about the biggest I could get and still have good trailerability. It
doesn't require a tandem axle, and is small enough not to require trailer
brakes. I've been able to launch and retrieve my 21'er with no major
problems, so the 18'er should be a snap.

Once we move to NC, we'll be in mostly lakes, with an occasional trip to
the beach. I don't envision going out beyond sight of land. I may hit the
Chesapeake Bay bridge/tunnel area.
