Killing Loran-C will save the government $190 million over five years,

Somehow Obama is being a real jerk in insulting our intelligence. Even
if we are gullable to believe it costs $190 million over 5 years to
keep, lets do some math.


You don't even have a boat...

Have a hand held GPS, and rent boats when appropriate. Sort of silly for
me to own one at the moment being I live in a land locked area. Easier
to drive the 1600 km to my favorite fishing hole and rent one for a week
or two.


Right. Of course. Just like Skipper, you drive nearly 1000 miles to go
fishing. And you track your route on your hand-held GPS.
