What if a Canadian owns property on the water, should he be able to restrict the public from using this property anyway they want? If all property on the water was available to all Canadian citizens (we wouldn't want to have any "foreigners" up there) it would save Canadians a ton of money on public parks. I think you have come up with a great idea. I am curious, why didn't the Canadian government buy the land when it was cheap to insure public access for future generations? Sounds to me like you are venting your frustration at the wrong people. Venting? Actually, I started off just posting some good news that might be interesting to local and even international cruising boaters. JohnH got very defensive and now you are doing what you do best. Scoring the thread. One point to Don White, for a third party personal remark. |

'Surprise Announcement' www.mahoneislands.ns.ca note: a number of islands have been bought up by 'rich Americans' in the last few years...some completely stripped of forestry and signs erected warning locals to stay away. Then maybe rich Canadians should buy the islands and donate to a nature conservancy? I wondered who were the dumb asses that sold the islands to those horrible rich Americans! Greedy people blinded by that yankee dollah. Don, don't you just hate those rich son of a bitches? I see that sort of crap all the time with developments I work on. The surrounding neighbors pour into the Planning Commision meetings whining about how they use 'X' piece of land for picnics etc, and how we should not be allowed to develop it. They never want to buy it, even when offered. They just want to continue to leach off of others. Why am I not surprised that donny is of the same ilk? Two points to Fritz, one for additionally politicizing the discussion and another for a personal remark about "donny". |

My single post related to this thread was "nasty, snide, and inflammatory"? You make tough rules, Chuck. Eisboch Don't give yourself so much credit. The group remarks in general included some that were nasty, snide, and inflammatory. Yours were merely inflammatory, challenging Don White to somehow prove or disprove that Canadians are more generous than Americans. Sounds like a first class boating topic to me. (Unless you'd want to call your later remark to me "snide", but I wasn't including that in my reference). Inflammatory remarks and all trolls should be posted in rec.bAITs. For a guy who only scored one point, before I gave up keeping score, you sure got your hackles up in a hurry. Why wouldn't it be fairly obvious that remarks posted to a public forum will be noticed by somebody? So, the question is this: Is it the greater offender who comments on the quality and content of the remark, or the greater offender who posts the remarks to begin with? |

Walker was the founder and president of Autodesk (AutoCad). He sold it in the late 80's (or maybe in 1990) and has returned to his favorite pastime .... writing computer code. His "Hacker's Diet" is a very interesting and humorous POV on weight loss and exercise and is a good read even if you aren't dieting. The preface and introduction gives a good overview of his approach. From there you can link to his other websites where he covers subjects from astrology to mathematics. He offers free downloads of some interesting programs he has written as well. I spent a couple of hours last night on his sites and found them to be toughly enjoyable. Eisboch |
