(Weren't put through the "burden" of having to take the course, you chose to yourself because it seemed like the less inconvenient of the options.) So I'm not sure what, if anything, you are complaining about at this point. I figure the opportunity costs to me of sitting unproductively through those 8 hours was in the thousands, as the costs of taking a day off to take the test would have been. Right, I get it exactly. You're not really that concerned with ideas about the extent to which government should rightfully regulate boating, except to the extent that it personally inconveniences you. The right solution I guess, according to you (this is what your post sounds like) would be for the government to break down the financial cost of "sitting unproductively through those 8 hours" on an individual case-by-case basis and if the figure is above a certain threshold, the person is exempt from the rule about having to demonstrate that they know boating safety basics. richforman |
