This type of thing really scares me. I mean where is all this government
stuff going? A man or woman cannot own a kayak without a liscence or
registration?
This is cause for a Boston Tea Party revisited 1998 style. I am persuaded that
vestiges
of a totalitarian state are very near and rationally conclude that freedom and
the
preservation of the Republic has been lost in this century.
Consider this in view of threatened registration of kayaks in Canada as well;
that there are fourteen signposts to slavery already posted in our mutual
societies.
If anyone cares I will post those privately as it is not in the scope of this
discussion
group and I know I am close to the line with this comment.
Any attempt to restrict movement within the USA or Canada is one of those
signposts. Serial number for insurance purposes and claim identification is one
thing but for the sake of control by governments being able to impound your
kayak
for not having registration? We have a serious loss of freedom. As I see it
anyway.
