[Paddlewise] Registration fees

Hi,

Registration fees for canoes and kayaks-fightin' mad!

Out here in old PA, I've never been able to find anyone that cares a 
bleep about the problem.  What's the problem?

I have no objection to paying my fair share for a permit to use my 
boat on the local State Park lakes.  I have more than one boat; so 
does my wife. We have also, sailing canoes! We use our boats one at a 
time!

Oddly enough, commercial p[eople with a collection of boats only need 
as many permits as boats they will use at any one time, and they can 
just switch the permits from one boat to another. Terrific..It's just 
the ordinary public citizen that they want to bleed to death.

To be fair here, I want HUNTERS and FISHERMEN to get separate permits 
for each of their guns and fishing poles that they intend to use in 
the forests and on the waters of the GREAT  STATE of PA!

All I ever hear is HA HA HA; they really hammer you, huh! HA HA HA 
HA! See that; I even hear it now as I write this!

Hunters and fishermen would blow the suckers to hell for such a 
proposal. Paddlers? Just keep paying!

Now your telling me that boaters going to Maine from other states got 
to get permits before they launch? Hmmmm, got to spend more time in 
Canada!
