Ya know, if just 10% of the 59M boaters would suddenly apply for the
permit...even for the permit application forms...from the bureaucrats, it
would bring the whole place to its knees for months and months, making it
all a big joke.

You forget the bureaucratic imperative--never ignore an opportunity to
expand your empire. You'd immediately hear the cry from a coalition of
enviros and bureaucrats to hire more people and throw more money at the
agency responsible for issuing the permits.


The alternative being to ignore the environmental issues and continue to
pollute with the tacit approval of the oil companies (I mean the Bush
administration - a group that has expanded gov't more than any in recent
history not reduced it). Vote McCain - four more years!!
