GL: Fuel costs affecting boating?

[Ron Rogers]

When one industry profits at the expense of all other industries in our 
country, that situation cries out for regulation. Everything reaches our 
hearth and table via truck and aircraft while industry receives and ships 
bulk materials via rail. By-products of oil to include "socks" flood the 
marketplace. The analysis of societal problems often begins with the 
question - who benefits? In this case, a disproportionally small number of 
investors benefits.

So yes, fuel costs will change the way in which I intend to use my boat, but 
it will also affect the proportion of money going to food on the table and 
circumscribe where I go in my car. Heck, it will even affect the price of my 
dock lines. Further, it will affect *where* I intend to put my sock.

And to think, I used to enjoy Kukla, Fran, and Ollie.
