Um...Marty, how do you throw adjectives like "the rich" into a value equation. Is there some calculus by which you can determine how much more a poor man's boat is worth than that of a rich man? Ah, now Dave I think you're merely being disingenuous, rather than merely simple. It is obvious to most that the assets of the "rich" are indeed more worthy protecting. Now don't bother spouting some nonsense about paranoia, it happens repeatedly. I'll bet you that if one of the Duponts reports their dog missing in Delaware that there will be a much larger effort given to finding it than if you report your dog missing. To deny that money buys influence and that sycophancy is nonexistent is simply foolish. Cheers Marty |

You have a long history of being disingenuous, which begs the questions. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

I suppose that in your world the US Justice system treats the indigenous and the coloured in the same way it treats whites and rich? Cheers Marty |

The only system in the history of mankind that has treated the most number of people equally are totalitarian regimes because all freedom and justice is lacking. |
