I might check it out one of these days but I'd prefer the Caribbean side over the Pacific side. Wilbur Hubbard |

@corp.supernews.com: Nice place. We loved Belize, but haven't been to CR. CR is nicer, at least as I've been told. CR isn't owned by Coca-Cola like Belize politicians are.....and CR natives are VERY friendly towards NICE Americans/Canadians. I'm told Belize sort of resents the big corporation owning the country, which I can easily understand..... Larry -- |

We know our waters and fellow boaters better than any Coastie can hope to attain. In all prior wars, we have been viewed as allies, not enemies. To my way of thinking, the current "stay away" policy makes sense and should be sufficient for all purposes. Granted, this is a different war, and a different administration (which seems to view ordinary citizens as a threat). I am hopeful (but not confident) that liberty will not be seen as inconsistent with security; it is shameful that we are being attacked for our liberties and respond by taking them away. Perhaps if we can elect a few people who are more interested in preserving our rights than in concentrating power for the benefit of their friends, we will return to the country that so many have admired and emulated for centuries (as opposed to the current attitude, where our leaders are despised). If the Coast Guard is willing to listen, I'm willing to help them come up with policies that make sense. If they decide to track every day sailor, the CG will no resources for the jobs that count.

What a stupid posting. You think the democrats are going to solve your
problems? You think these people care about your liberties? Are you dumb or what. Take a listen to Al Gore. He goes on and on about global warming. Then he gets into a private jet to go and talk some more. Or some of the liberal ideas about protecting you from yourself. The liberal phonys such a Hilary, Al, Al Sharpton, etc will tax you off the earth. And while you are living in a shack they will tell you why it is so good for you and they had to do it for the "Children". I hate em all. The Repubs, the Democrats... all of them. My basic philosophy.. Leave me the F alone. Ameria was a great country. Not anymore. It is a cesspool. The federal government which you want to give the liberals control of can't even control the border between the US and Mexico. What are you going to do when there are more Mexicans living here than US, US Citizens? "steve_hayes_maine" wrote in message ups.com...

Are you dumb or what. Take a listen to Al Gore. He goes on and on about global warming. Then he gets into a private jet to go and talk some more. Did you see his utility bills? He owns three or four houses. His primary home in Nashville,TN has electricity bills enough to pay for twenty average-size homes. ****ing fat hypocrite Democrat asshole! Getting rich from the new religion of human-caused global warming while, if you believe his movie, he personally is more damaging to the globe than twenty to thirty more responsible average everyday human beings. And remember what this asshole said about the President not too long ago. Talk about pot-kettle-black . . . Boy, are we ever fortunate Gore lost the election. "(George Bush) betrayed this country! He played on our fears. He took America on an ill-conceived foreign adventure dangerous to our troops, an adventure preordained and planned before 9/11 ever took place!" -- Al Gore Or some of the liberal ideas about protecting you from yourself. The liberal phonys such a Hilary, Al, Al Sharpton, etc will tax you off the earth. "Many of you are well enough off that...the tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good." -- Hillary Clinton And while you are living in a shack they will tell you why it is so good for you and they had to do it for the "Children". All the while they talk about their great concern for the children, they count on the fact most Americans have such a short memory they won't remember children like those living with the Branch Davidians that Bill Clinton and Janet Reno roasted alive. And they hope you don't recall the midnight Gestapo raid that kidnapped Ellian Gonzalez and forcibly returned him to Cuba. I hate em all. The Repubs, the Democrats... all of them. I don't hate them. I despise them for the socialists they are, and lately, are openly bragging they are. I despise even more the ignorant asshole voters who have their hands out thinking they are entitled to be given something for nothing so they vote for the person who they think will see to it they get the largest handout possible. My basic philosophy.. Leave me the F alone. You got that right! Ameria was a great country. Not anymore. It is a cesspool. The federal government which you want to give the liberals control of can't even control the border between the US and Mexico. What are you going to do when there are more Mexicans living here than US, US Citizens? It's all part of the socialist plan. A rich ruling elite patterned after Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry etc. And a bunch of peasants groveling at their feet. But the hypocrisy is what gets me. They act like they are just so concerned about the "little guy" and the planet and all the while there is only one thing they're really concerned about and that is their selfish selves. They use stupid people to further their agenda and the stupid people they use are way too stupid to wake up and see how sorely they are being used. Take the majority of African-Americans, for example, they vote Democrat election after election while Democrats pay lip service to helping them out. Then even while getting nothing for generations they keep on voting Democrat. This is the kind of stupidity and greed the socialists count upon. Lie and lie some more. Count on the fact that most voters are either too stupid or too greedy to take offense. There is one instance where everybody of sound mind agrees that Bush and Cheney lied. That's Bush and Cheney said, during the 2004 presidential campaign, that Kerry and Edwards were "worthy opponents". --Capt. Neal Wilbur Hubbard |

I believe he was pointing out the hypocracy of AlGore's comments (true enough) about the Shrub, while he himself is "playing on our fears" with the "Global Warming" gambit. |
