So, if your neighbor murders your son, it's ok for you to kill them all?

That's not what the cops say where I live. It's NOT OK for me to kill off
the neighbors if they kill someone of mine. I'll certainly want to, but we
are a society of laws. We don't just start banging away on the neighbors
with our M-16s trying to see how many we can kill. That leads to anarchy
and everyone dies.

Why is murder OK when it's done by Zionists? I've wondered that for years.



You are playing with words. Didn't the recent Supreme court decision
show that the law allows an individual to defend himself, even by
deadly force?

I believe that in all states in the U.S. if you are being shot at and
believe that you are in danger you are within your rights to shoot
back.
Cheers,

Bruce

you've got a de-humidifier running 24/7, and the boat is closed up then,
yep, I expect it'll dry out, but what about a boat that's used
regularly? Can you ever dry it out?

The two most important words, IMO, are, "Insulate and ventilate." Insulating
both above and below the waterline wherever possible keeps condensation
down, while ventilation keeps the humidity inside the boat close to that of
outside the boat, but prevents stale air and heat build-up. Solar-powered
Nicro Day/Night vents work very well if properly placed, combined with
passive vents belowdecks. The problem is not heat and humidity per se, but
differences in heat and humidity.


If you're living aboard, however, in a temperate region such as NC where
night temps are known to drop into the low 20's, keeping inside and
outside air equal would be quite daunting! Gives a whole new definition
to "frostbiting"!


Kati, are you a troll? You should be able to figure out what to do
when the A.C. is too cold...

Or one could always spend the night in the heated lounge, take a turn
in the hot tub, or do midnight laundry in the heated laundry room....

Please don't continue to misrepresent anarchy. Anarchy simply means
"without head", or leader. No one must die simply because anarchy is
present.

Professor: Why, no one.
Skipper: No one?
Thurston Howell III: No one? Good heavens, this is anarchy!

and our own "wild west" back in the 1800s.

Both Somalia and Afghanistan have some form of government, with a
president or prime minister, et al. Ergo, not true anarchies. But the
improper use of certain words by the media (and yes, uneducated
schmucks), allow peoples' perceptions of these ideologies to be
manipulated and their definitions become blurred over time. Hopefully
the digital divide will lessen in the backwaters, and allow more
people to communicate and trade with each other. Tom
