Why the hell do you think people buy weather suits and epirb's?

they buy weather suits because they think they are most likely to die at sea if
they don't. These people buy ANYthing with the label "safety" mentioned in its
advertising.

Way too many people buy EPIRBs because they *know* they are not up to a trip
but figure by punching the button a set of coasties will come out and save
their sorry butts. These people often say "it's the coastie's job" to rescue
them, and the coastie's loss of life is nothing because the coastie volunteered
for the job and besides the coastie doesn't hold down a desk job. Indeed, the
coastie often didn't even go to college. Those people place no value on life
anyway.

wally, NO EPRIB for you. Let Darwin improve the gene pool.
