[cool][#0000ff]As is usually the case, I think the problem is with the people hired by the state, rather than actual state regulations. Unless something is clearly spelled out, with all potential details covered, our AVERAGE public servant cannot translate it or understand the intent or meaning.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]That's why "Military Intelligence" is an oxymoron...like jumbo shrimp, etc.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]One of my "best" examples...float tube oriented...was when I tried to take my tube in to fish a small lake in Colorado several years ago. As I stopped to pay my entry fee at the gate the gate attendant noticed my tube and fishing poles in my vehicle. He got all flustered and asked what I was planning to do. When I tried to explain what a float tube was, and how effective it was for fishing, he warned me that since this was a floating toy, that I would have to stay inside the buoys for the swimming area...but that I could not use my fishing rods, because I might hook somebody. I did not pay my fee and I turned around and left.[/#0000ff]
