Hey, I'm with you Chuck - I'm for free beer and I don't even drink
beer.

"Whiskey for my men, Beer for my horses!!"

Rather than have this drag through a series of courts hoping for
the "right" judge to set it straight, Congress can simply and specifically
empower the EPA to exempt the normal discharges incidental to the
normal operation of a pleasure boat.

I had a very interesting conversation yesterday with an aide to our
local Congressional Representative and here's what I came away with
(I'm kind of paraphrasing here, but the intent is exact).

"Um...I don't understand. You mean that a ruling in California can
effect people in Connecticut?"

God as my witness, that's what his aide said.

We are doomed. Time to move to Australia where they at least like
boaters and don't believe in Global Warming. :)
