the amount of $$$ north americans spend on themselves at this time of year is sufficient to end world hunger, provide schooling for everyone, and vaccinate the world against all the major preventable diseases. it's a tremendous influx of carbon into the atmosphere and generates mountains of residual waste. by any standard it is a moral, economic and environmental travesty. but that's what happens when capitalism becomes the major cultural ethic.

The EXACT same things can be said about your sailboat.
How much diesel does the membership of this forum burn each year in their boats? How much line, sails, engine parts, cushions, paint are tossed into the trash? How much time is wasted sailing that could be used to help the disadvantaged?
It's a moral, economic and environmental travesty.
YOU, with the guilty conscience, need to look in the mirror. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged.
