Oh, damn that's funny!!!!!! Calling ME "not very bright"..........."quriosity"????? Heeehee!!! That wasn't a typo. Look at your keyboard, the letter Q is nowhere near the letter C. Liar. Yeah, you must be correct, this guy must have thought curiosity started with a "Q". Bass do you really believe the words you type? How else would it happen? Why would a finger be anywhere near the Q when typing a C? |

Sad commentary on our school system
wrote in message ups.com... Thank you John, That's much appreciated. There is a local lake here that the local municipality enjoys a $35.00 permit to use their lake. which isn't bad. PLUS you have to show proof that your boat carries a $100,000. liability policy. which isn't bad either. I don't thinkt he State is gong to do much about that, though. And my favorite lake (Carlyle IL) has $3.00 launch fees per launchor a $30.00 per year permit with unlimited access, and the fees are controled by the Army Corps of Engineers. The fees that New Hampshire towns currently collect are a form of personal property tax based on the size and age of your boat, and upscale waterfront communities tend to attract upscale boats with upscale fees. These fees don't actually get you on the water though; to do that you would need to find either a no-cost/ low-cost public launch, or pay a private entity a higher launch fee. If you opt for the public launch site you might want to bring a lunch as it could be an all-day job. That $3/launch or $30/year fee you spoke about seems very fair to me. In these days of tight state and municipal budgets, boaters are looked on as a reliable revenue stream, while public services for boaters are viewed as luxuries for the rich. |

Most of the population can't speak proper English (assuming they're trying). Damn few of them in the city itself understand boats, which is why I'm entertaining suggestions about where to move. I taught ESL for four years. Only the Russians, Ukrainians, and eastern Europeans learned well. I saw only a few Asians. |

You have absolutely NO idea whether this person ever attended a public school or not. |

You've been proven to have given a knee-jerk ignorant response, and continue to do so. |
