You can't rate routes according to the ability of the traveller. For example, the routes on a road map may be marked differently if they are primary (paved two lane) or secondary (gravel single lane). Just because a single lane gravel road might be "primary" for a farm tractor doesn't mean the map should show it as a primary road. Standards have to be objective, not subjective. When they become subjective, like in our teacher-dominated schools, they loose their meaning and usefulness, which is why we see university students who cannot read and write. If you start to rate river routes accordign to the ability of the paddler then paddling will be controlled by so-called "certified paddling instructors" and rivers will become like schools. Better to keep our rivers out of their greedy grasp. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ William R Watt National Capital FreeNet Ottawa's free community network homepage: www.ncf.ca/~ag384/top.htm warning: non-FreeNet email must have "notspam" in subject or it's returned |
