Beauty. Looks like a great day.

Could've accomplished the same with a net neutral tax......vs one intended to generate revenue.

I'm glad he had the guts to cancel it instead of pushing through just for the optics.

I'm in favor of a carbon tax if it's net is revenue neutral (charge the polluters, pass savings to non polluters) but if it's just a cash grab then that's another story. I also wonder how they implement it in concert with a TPP when products-from-far-away should naturally have more carbon tax attached to them (which is a good thing if you like buying from Canada instead of Asia).....but wouldn't that go against free trade? Also wonder how produce from california or mexico in the winter isn't going to suddenly be more expensive. Does this mean poor kids eat more processed and rich kids get to eat fresh produce? Will be interesting to see how they plan to do it. I worry it's just a cash grab.

Security risk aside, I think they should give preference to women and children anyway. Not sure what all the hubbub is about on that.

Why does everyone hate Chris Christie? I like that guy. Also (mostly) like Obama, so maybe I'm in the minority around here.

I'm pretty sure the dudes in the middle east aren't coming to get you.

I think it's the morally right thing to do, especially since we contributed to the bombing of their city. Just wonder if 1.2B could help a lot more people than 25k. If 10 countries contributed $12B to something more local (a safe town in Syria), wouldn't it go a lot farther?

I'm pro refugee, but have to wonder if 1.2B could be better spent in ohter ways to keep more than 25k Syrians safe.

Thanks Wayne. I'll do that next year.

Here's a question for you handy guys.....my etec has a fuel/water separator under the hood. The dealer that sold it to me said not to touch it for 3 yrs, and another marina said the same thing. I find that very weird; if there's water in there, isn't it likely to break?. Shouldn't it be changed annually?

Are we at war with Syria? I thought the whole point of going to war against ISIS was because they were running over Syrian and Iraqi towns and killing/abusing their people? Otherwise, why did we go after ISIS in the first place? To use your example above, it would be more like taking in refugees from Poland and Francce when Germany was invading them. It's not perfectly analogous, but a far better comparison than you used above. Edited to add -- it would be more like flying over Poland, bombing the Nazis (and polish towns) and then taking in Polish refugees because they were running from the Nazis (and our bombs). And then us being worried that the Nazis might hide amongst the Polish refugees.........does that make more sense?

If we can afford to bomb them, then we should be able to afford to take in the innocent people running from our bombs.

That's great.

Obviously not a perfect comparison, but still....

They terrorist-bombed the UK for 2 decades.....not unlike what ISIS did in France last week (albeit for very different reasons). My point is, you don't nuke an entire country just because there are some terrorists hiding there. It's ridiculous.

Would you guys have nuked Ireland in the 70s and 80s?

I can see the plumbing. I pour it anyway in case there's something left in the intake pump. Seems pointless, but you never know. Edited my post.

my livewell pipes (both the intake and drain) empty when I pull the boat out of the water. I still pour antifreeze in just in case there's something in the pump, but you could likely get away with just turning it on for a second to run air through it.

Would you have aimed them at Ireland in the 70s and 80s?

No self respect at all.

Very rude. They either have no dignity at all, or (more likely) just didn't know any better. Its too had you didn't have a big musky bait to cast across their lines or off their boat a few times.

Ping pong balls!
