Killing Loran-C will save the government $190 million over five

Obama said. But supporters of Loran -- including the man known as
"the
father of GPS" -- say the nation's increasing reliance on GPS
paradoxically has increased the importance of maintaining Loran as a
backup.

Somehow Obama is being a real jerk in insulting our intelligence.
Even
if we are gullable to believe it costs $190 million over 5 years to
keep, lets do some math.


You don't even have a boat...

Have a hand held GPS, and rent boats when appropriate. Sort of silly
for
me to own one at the moment being I live in a land locked area. Easier
to drive the 1600 km to my favorite fishing hole and rent one for a
week
or two.


Right. Of course. Just like Skipper, you drive nearly 1000 miles to go
fishing. And you track your route on your hand-held GPS.


You are pathetic. hk and his SS Minnow.


Please...you *drive* a thousand miles to go fishing? Bull****.


Yep. Bad day fishing on a boat is better than a good day a work.

I would kill before I let my fishing rods go.
