The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you run out of luck".

I agree that when inexperienced people can get into trouble, those who understand the situation should make sure the 'blank' ones are kept out. Here is a good example of "Think before acting so you do not take more victims to the disaster site." Police have arrested a teenager they said slammed into a fire hydrant and a utility pole that energized a pool of water and killed two women acting as good Samaritans. Arman Samsonian, 19, faces two felony counts of vehicle manslaughter. Police say Samsonian was speeding on August 22 when he lost control of his SUV while trying to make a turn near the intersection of Magnolia Boulevard. and Ben Avenue in Valley Village ( Los Angeles area ). He hit a fire hydrant and a utility pole that ended up energizing a pool of water. I do not see the logic in the charge. Not directly related to sailing but has water in it.... Leslie.

There are so many folks out there who are looking for someone else to protect them from their stupidity and somehow to benefit financially from that stupidity, that now there are too many laws to protect us from ourselves. And there are too many attorneys out there who are ready to 'help' us benefit from our stupidity. Sorry, but I too am upset with laws to protect us from idiots, including ourselves. Says one who used to be married to an attorney, who also believes as I do and no longer practices.

Regardless, all of this has led to the downfall of our freedom. In some cases we are ordered out of our houses and in others denied access to our sports. I like my life, charish it, but I want to live it my way. That's why we live in a suposed free country. -- Cheers, Jeff Nelson Muir Caileag C&C 30 Armdale Y.C.
