might makes right

But this kid makes the wrong assumption first (it's NOT a jungle) and then realized the hard truth... 'Looks like I’m wrong. According to this coast guard captain, one should always assume that “might makes right” on the water.

Here you are fair game for every single predator out there. And the least of your worries are sharks and alligators. |
