Jim,
The BS law that's the subject of this thread makes no more sense than when
the US was making threatening noises towards countries conducting business
and allowing travel to Cuba. It has absolutely nothing to do with security.
From following your posts, I can see that you really don't understand the
actual reason behind this law. It's the very loud Cuban-American voting
block and the fact that the rest of the country doesn't care enough to get
the 40 year old (failed) embargo lifted.
We're now "pals" with both Russia (which has sent us all their worst
criminals) and China (who has almost done away with US made goods); yet we
still have a hard on for Cuba? Give me a break.
There's a saying, "Unless you're the lead sheep, the view is always the
same".

Proclamation Restricts Rights of Boats in US Waters

The Land of the Free indeed!
They would have to pry my tiller from my cold dead fingers.



If you were piloting a boat in time of war in the US.....and your boat was
needed to thwart an attack.... and you resisted....you may very well be
dead.

Thank you for your kind, heartfelt, and most of all LITERATE and
intelligent post.

I do realize that there are a LOT of people out there who are more
concerned with "being right" than with seeing the truth as it clearly
unfolds before them. Sometimes their stark denial in the face of the
obvious is startling. Take this evil bit of law GWB enacted. EVERYONE
can read it and (hopefully) comprehend the text. Yet some choose to read
it, and reinterpret it in a way that fits with their need to feel secure
or to "be right". In some ways it's fascinating to watch those people
deny basic facts like those portrayed so starkly through this
incredibly intrusive and repressive law. Even more impressive is the
attitude...and the extent to which these people will go to deny that
which is so painfully and glaringly obvious. At their level, it's not
about intellect or reason, it's about emotion. You can't help them, and
neither can I. I TRULY can do nothing more than pity them. Honestly
that's true.

None the less, I do believe that speaking out is important. It helps to
focus reality for those sad sacks who are so unable to overcome their
emotional baggage, and also allows like minded people (people who simply
see and accept reality for what it is) to share and to reinforce their
observations in a public forum, where maybe...just maybe their insights
can make a difference.

I truly do pity those people who have invested SO much of themselves in
denial and in defending "their positions" whilst ignoring their own plight.

I do appreciate your well written and heartfelt reply. Don't worry, the
stupidity and ignorance from those few hopeless causes doesn't
discourage me in any way.

I've always believed that Ignorance is temporary, but Stupidity is forever.

Each one of those who argues relentlessly with the FACTS as clearly
offered at the white house web site

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/relea...040226-11.html

has a clear choice between three options:

- Understand the words that they read in respect to the law as written.
- remain ignorant through denial.
- or just plain stay stupid.

Those that choose ignorance can possibly come to see reality given
enough opportunity. Maybe our posts can help.

Those who choose stupidity are beyond hope. My post was not directed at
the stupid ones because they are beyond hope. Hence, their responses
don't trouble me a bit. They made their choice to stay stupid.

I am very sorry that your country's fledgling democracy (after all it's
only just over 200 years old) is imploding. Sadly that is the most
common affect of rampant greed when coupled with a nearly sociopathic
lack of morals. Such is the Residency of GWB and his gang of thieves
(like Halliburton and their ilk.)

As an aside, for those who wonder why America is being "targeted" here's

Think about that. There are people in positions of influence and power

have been a handful of countries who have passed laws that have

Terrorists; the same terrorists that think nothing of suicide missions,

What's your suggestion just hand our countries over to the

I'm sorry but the truth is that nuclear technology is easy to get, the
making of a crude device is certainly possible & has been for a long
time, right now our best bet is to ensure the delivery is as hard as we
can possibly make it for any terrorists.

The slight inconvenience that causes the occasional boat traveler is no

Without sounding too boring, I have read the proclamation and find
nothing that poses any threat to those that have boats and use them for
legitimate purposes.

The issue raised about people having differing views is of interest. To
wit those that did not vote for bush must be anti-american.

This reminds me of Margaret Thatcher in the UK - who thought that the
people were the enemy of the state. Her view was that those that did not
support her views - they must be the real enemy. The UK and the USA were
Allies at the time. We still politics change but we still like eachother
more or less :)

Here in the UK we have the right to board any vessel to inspect the crew
and cargo - and do so - as a matter of course to ensure that such
vessels, the crew and cargo are not a threat to the interests of the UK
and that of any other nation state. Such vessels includes any vessel at
sea, land or air capable of moving goods and people. It's called "common
sense protection."

We Brits don't see this as a major threat to our civil liberties but
rather as a means of protection - as best we can under the restrictive
practices of the European Union which tends to try and stop us from
controlling our borders and the movement of goods, people and vessels.

No state can monitor one's internal thoughts but can act if they think
your outward actions pose a threat to security of the nation state. This
has been common practice for all states for thousands of years and thus
is not new.

What might be thought "new" - is the idea that the state can read your
internal thoughts - most with those views are either in some kind of
therepy or are in need of it.

Margaret Thatcher's downfull started when she showed signs of madness -
that she was right and every one else was wrong - and that ultimate
madness that the people are the enemy of the state. Even the
Conservative Party realised that she was losing her grip on reality -
they voted against her and the people in a general election voted that
party out of office.

Regards,

David

The UN sponsored "Law of the Sea Treaty" relates primarily to industrial
and commercial interests as pertains to things like mining and
commercial rights to various resoruces. While those types of issues
indirectly affect everyone, the open ended framework of the proclomation
passed by Bush a year ago (
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/relea...040226-11.html ) carries the
potential to impact on virtually EVERY boater traversing American
waters...be they American or foreign.

Seriously read the proclomation.

You can joust about "intentions" and claim that the laws won't be
enforced all you want, but if you read this document and comprehend it
(it's very clearly written and unambiguous) you will note that the
American Government has given itself teh right to sieze your vessel if
they think that you are THINKING of visiting Cuba in it. In short, if
the vessel has the ability to visit Cuba, the American government has
the legal right to sieze the vessel with impunity.

Whether you INTEND to visit Cuba is not a part of the law. There is
absolutely no statement within that proclomation that indicates what
proof is required...or what constitutes a valid reason for siezing your
vessel, other than the fact that they can arbitrarily decide that you
are THINKING about visiting Cuba.

Seriously...read it for what it is. Don't embellish it with thoughts of
"intent". There are no statements indicating that INTENT must be
established, only that the vessel can be siezed if it "is susceptible of
being used" to visit cuba.

Welcome to the land o'the free. Don't say you weren't warned.

I believe GWB's best campaign slogan might well have been:

"Thank you for not paying attention"

Thanks for your help in proving that theory, Garuda.

I really couldn't have done it without you sitting in front of your

Although I must admit your results are hardly worthy of Shakespeare.

You have a problem with that? Why?

Who Knows? Nobody will investigate it.
Try yourself; Try to prove that anyone did it, and name them please.
Provide proof of your accusations too. They were Arabs you say? Really?
Prove it.

That is what is still missing here. 911 has NOT been solved. There is
plenty more to know before anyone can make accusations. Osama was the
named triggerman, but why aren't we even looking for him? We let him go in
Tora Bora, so that the war against "terror" (what terror?) could continue
to Iraq/Iran/Syria. Lies, lies, lies.
