I wonder, you are down there in a humble kayak because you are not a
bully, you are at mercy of the elements and you have to use your brain
and skill to survive; and you believe in "smaller is better;" and you
see the ocean all polluted around you, stuff thrown overboard of
motorboats floating everywhere; and the motorboats whistle past you;
and there are no places to launch while there are many motorboat ramps;
and you see the shark always chasing the sardines... How can you be a
Conservative????

I mean, kayakers MUST be on the side of the sardines, and for change
and revolution!!!

Take your stupid troll elsewhere. Paddlers come from all demographic
groups, which is one of the beauties of the sport.

Do you think motorboaters too???

Politics schmolitics....."Just Boat" Or maybe it's my allergies to flat
water acting up again?

Heard a funny song once......"on a used car lot on the other side of town, a
liberal guy and a liberal gal buy a Yugo.........chorus sing's "buy a Yugo"
and they drive with pride......

I think we kayakers should form a coalition with cyclists, pedestrians,
ultralight planes and, of course, sardines. On the other side you find
motorboaters, Hummer drivers, military jet pilots and, who else, sharks.

Hmmm... On which "side" do you put us military jet pilots who also are kayakers
and glider pilots but who don't fly ultralight planes?

I would put you guys on the good side and would love to paddle with
you guys ANY day.

"Unless you are planning to arm those sardines, all the cooperation in
the world isn't going to keep that
shark/dolphin/codfish/haddock/pollock from eating his fill. (Wait a
minute, sardines don't have arms....)"

How about the piranhas??? We can arm sardines with similar teeth and...
Wait a minute, we are talking NONVIOLENCE!

We can have a system by which the sardines know all the time where the
predators are, similar to the bell on the cat that saves the mice.
Well, I don't know if it works under water as well.

All the preyed-upon (sardines, mice, bugs, etc.) have one survival strategy:
outreproduce the predators, and "make love not war" seems to be sustaining
the food chain quite nicely. Of course, too much success in reproduction
usually means exceeding your food supply, leading to population crash.
Happens all the time. So you need the predators to keep the browsers in
check, lest they eat everything in sight. Ah, isn't non-violent nature
grand...

be ****ed off...

EVOLVE OR ELSE!

Once upon a time lived a race of dinosaurs whose violence and appetite
alarmed everybody... One day a Little Ant, tired of feeling stepped
upon, and worried about her cooperative enterprise, came up to the
Americanus Raptor--the biggest dinosaur of them all--and asked: "Why
you eat and eat everything in your path? Why don't you slim down? Why
can't we little animals at least have our own way?" Then the dinosaur,
blowing the Little Ant away, shouted: "Bigger is better, so get lost!"

The Little Ant, then, gathered the whole cooperative and said:
"Comrades, our world is being threatened by the dinosaurs, so..." And
at that precise moment the Earth was hit by a big ball of fire,
destroying all but the small animals...

most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change." -Charles
