Walker's Cay
Actually, I was happy to hear Walkers Cay got put out of commission by a tropical storm. Serves them right, I say. They were an uppity lot who catered to rich motor yachtsmen and those ocean rapists who call themselves *sport fishermen*. Yah, some *sport* using million dollar pollution machines to pillage marine life. They should be SO proud of themselves. It's good to see these rapists no longer have a base of operations there to further despoil that part of the ocean. -- Sir Gregory |

It was one of the few places where he could get away from the press corps. |

It doesn't know how to attribute nor does it know how to trim sigs. You should download a fee copy of XNews or some other simple but real news client if you care about your readers and in accurate attribution. If you're going to partake in Usenet you should endeavor to do so properly for the sake of your readers and for the sake of your reputation. How can anybody be taken seriously who ignores the rules of the game? -- Sir Gregory |

No, it's not that. It's more the thought of how those rich, hoity-toity *******s seem to be glorified because their wallets are fat. Most, if not all, are total assholes who seem to think they are entitled to waste resources, pollute the air and water and generally act like selfish jerks whose **** doesn't stink that gets my goat. And, so few others see them for what they are - selfish rapists - but tend to view their extravagances as something special, indicates to me that there are a whole lot of asshole wannabes in this world as well. It's a general corruption of common decency and I cannot abide it. To me they are no better than that sick dentist who killed that lion in the game preserve. Yah, big brave hunters! -- Sir Gregory As an interesting aside, Walkers Cay was a favorite hangout of Richard Nixon and his Miami buddy, B.B. Rebozo, when Nixon was US president.

Is it really any better to glorify oneself because he/she/it is a total looser and lacks sufficient brain power or education (in a land where education is essentially free) to earn a decent living? Or alternately, is too lazy to work? After all, the bulk of the U.S. "upper 10 percent" got there through their own efforts, not through inheritance.

Attempting to point out OTHER dregs of humanity doesn't make the dregs of humanity in the form of sports fishermen rapists look more admirable, dude. I can only assume that you one of those wild eyed vegetarians that abhor eating fish, fowl and other "living things"? I've always wondered abut y'all.Given all the evidence that Man is an omnivores creature. Not only proved so by archeology but by witnessing primitive societies which invariability eat everything that they can get their hands on. So what is the problem with a fisherman going to sea in a boat to catch fish? After all, it has been going on as long as there have been "man". Or is it the luxury that you descry? The so obvious envy for someone that can own a boat larger than a toy? And who actually uses it to go somewhere and do something other than just squat there in their floating trailer. Um, are you dense? It's the sport in sport fisherman that is offensive. It's one thing for a commercial fisherman to make a living catching and selling fish. It's another thing entirely to make a *sport* about killing fish you don't even want to eat. Sport fisherman are trophy fishing. They kill so they can brag. That is despicable behavior. -- Sir Gregory |

How can anybody be taken seriously who ignores the rules of the game? -- Sir Gregory I intensely dislike WLM, attribution marks being only one of my peeves. However, I have archives of this and my emails back to 1995, all one form or another of *.eml. Years ago I made a mistake in trying out Thunderbird or whatever it is that Mozilla calls their client; I was unable to retrieve my mails back into this format. Thus I'm reluctant to leave it. If you have a translation program which would assure my ready retrieval (I use search within the program to find stuff I know I have but not where it is) of stuff from the past, without any loss of the thousands of archived mails I have, I'm all ears. As to my reputation, it's already worthless, so I'm not so much worried as amused :{)) We hope to return to the Bahamas after a reunion of my national championship crew (rowing) in October and travels to visit our far-flung almost-15 grandchildren. Then, back in May, for a reunion and honoring by the regatta which serves as the small-college national finals, when we swept (Frosh, JV and Varsity), and another grandkid swing, before heading back yet again... Where do YOUR travels take you in the next year or so? Reluctantly, we've had two Bahamas visits in 6 months (Bahamas interruptus); one was in a nice NE breeze of 12-18 knots coming back in mid-September, as seen on our tinyurl.com/flyingpigspotwalla (you'll have to adjust the date range by clicking the arrow next to the name at the top of the page, to fit back to, say, April of this year)...
