Of course once the cop is out of sight, the allure of teak surfing is immediately tripled, because not only is it some sort of fun, but now it's also borderline dangerous *and* it ****es off the cops. If there's a law, the cops can go as far as arresting the operator, if need be, to see that the teak surfing stops. There's a difference between being mentally defective ("should be removed from the gene pool") and uninformed. A lot of teak surfers are probably kids who don't ordinarily spend a lot of time around boats, and when "all" their friends are doing it they just assume it's a normal activity. Here's hoping you never answer a knock on your door to learn that a kid or a grandkid was killed while doing something others would consider "stupid". My bet is that the last thought to cross your mind would be, "Oh, well. If they were that stupid they didn't deserve to live in the first place and it's a good thing they died before they could reproduce." We're talking actual lives here, not some abstract talk show platitude. there are laws against drink operating - less than 10% of people operating a boat drunk are caught. there are laws concerning the operation of boats by those under 16 - i can't tell you how many 12 to 16 yo kids i see on pwcs and pwc type boats operating in state parks of all things - theres a law against that too. oh, lets talk about operating with kids aboard w/o life preservers - theres a law about that i think. its still saving people from themselves. whats next - no bungee jumping? sky diving? snowboarding? soccer? baseball? people get seriously injured in those sports all the time - in particular soccer where serious knee/ankle and head injuries occur on a regular basis. bungee jumping, sky diving, snowboarding, soccer, baseball etc are all ordinarily survivable. sucking in CO fumes almost directly from the exhaust port usuallly is not. it is what it is chuck - just another grandstand play by some small time politician making a name for themselves under the guise of public safety. its bull**** of the first order and just another way to produce revenue along the way. Chuck - I haven't forgotten the peanuts. It's just that the boiled ones are a little harder to come by then I thought. I'm going down to Richmond tomorrow to see the daughter. Hopefully I'll be able to pick 'em up there. -- 'Til next time, John H ****************************************** ***** Have a Spectacular Day! ***** ****************************************** No big deal.
