In article
outaviation.com,
"Skylune" (a pathetic excuse for a human being)
tried (and failed) to make a point:

Orville: What percentage of boaters use Coast Guard Services vs.
percentage of flyers using FAA funded services (including the airports
themselves, controllers, etc.)? How much of an operating subsidy and
capital subsidy do private marinas receive?

Plenty -- The Corps of Engineers keeps the harbors dredged; bridges have
to be raised/lowered for yachtsmen (such as "Skyloon") (or is he a
stinkpot driver?). They also require police to kep security, fire
services -- all paid by the taxpayers.

Don't come whining to ME about "subsidies"!



Why does the AOPA cry about "privatization" and "user fees" while the Boat
US has no such issues?

Because the boaters haven't been threatened (yet).


By the way, your red plane is butt ugly.

I can tell that "Skyloon" probably have far better taste than your wife
(or girlfriend/boyfriend), but have absolutely NO appreciation for good
airplanes. (The fool doesn't know how to spell my name, either.)
