I am building a 14' skin-on-frame canoe – white oak ribs and stringers; cherry for seats, decks, thwarts, floorboards; 9 oz. white polyester fabric. The frame has just come off the building form and...

Why did they go under the aqueduct instead of bridging over it as they did with the nearby road?

You might get in touch with Lew Markle of Lew's Canoes in South Wales, NY. lmarkle@markleenterprises.com He does excellent work, and is about 2 hours from you.

No billboard needed – other media would work – full page popular magazine ad, or a 15 second TV spot during or between popular entertainment shows – not news or discussion shows.

Very simple...

The best abrasion resistance comes from Kevlar. I've put 3" and 4" wide kevlar tape along the keel line of some of my kayaks. The varnish/paint and topcoat of epoxy get worn off, but the...

Indeed.

Is the 9 oz Dacron as tightly woven with as smoth a surface as the 3.7 oz material? I am undetaking to build a SOF canoe and I think I would like something stronger than the lighter material, but I...

I have steam-bent four 5/8" x 1/2" white oak pieces for two two-lamination stems for a light-weight canoe I am building.

It is a political matter -- and right wing gun nuts and homophobes have made it such by doing nothing except perhaps offering "thoughts and prayers" in response to these events.

I don't claim that legalization of drugs will reduce "associated" criminal activity. It is clear, however, that enforcement of drug-criminalizing laws produces its own harms and has not done much,...

When I am considering things, I like to use numbers that are actually comparable – yours are not.

The CDC says that number you cite is for alcohol related...

We have learned nothing from the past. Alscohol was once the equivalent of Schedule 1 drugs.

McMike --

You have neatly avoided answering my question of what you hope to accomplish by your posts here.

I apologize for wasting your time and the time of others. It was, I see, a vain hope...

McMike --

I understand from the first sentence of your post 34 above that you are very unconcerned with what others think, so I wonder why you bothered to post at all.

You certainly could not...

Wow! That's as mean-spirited a post as I have seen on these forums in a long time.

Thanks for the good wishes.

Your analogy is seriously flawed. A better analogous law would be the requirement, imposed a few decades ago, that all seats in all cars have seat belts. This federal requirement is independent of...

Libel was actionable at common law, in 1788 when the Constitution was ratified, and in 1791 when the Bill of Rights became effective.

If the current "well regulated militia" that already "bears" a few gazillion existing "arms" accepts the infringement of magazine size limits on shotguns to protect ducks, why won't they accept a...

The question is --
why do gun rights nuts not object to this "infringement" on their right to bear arms?

If the requirement to plug or otherwise limit the size of a shotgun magazine to three shells or migratory bird shooting does not violate the Second Amendment, why wouldn't limiting the magazines of...
