On Thu, 12 Aug 2004 04:47:03 GMT, something compelled "Calif
Bill" , to say:

We have the problem in SF bay, that the sailboats think they have the right
of way over any power boat.

Well, of course. The Bay Area has *way* more than its share of
entitlement addicts, all to willing to assert their "rights"
against all reason. These are the same people that will step out
into traffic without looking, or ride their bicycles on busy
roads in such a way as to impede traffic. Common sense and a
respect for F = MA get overwritten by the flashing neon sign
stating I've Got My Rights!
