First of all, DeLoon DeLoon would not do that!

But ....it does remind me of the famous meeting between Ralph Waldo Emerson
and Henry David Thoreau - in a New England jail: g

(From the link)
This exchange was supposed to have taken place on July 23 or 24, 1846, in
the Concord, Massachusetts, jail where Thoreau was placed for nonpayment of
poll taxes.

“Henry, why are you here?” Waldo, why are you not here?

What kind of nut swerves in front of an aircraft? First, that prop is
extremely dangerous to the boater. Second, if you ding the airplane, it'll
cost you. Third, if you hurt someone aboard the airplane, it'll cost you a
LOT. Even if the act is/was illegal, why would someone take matters into
his own hands instead of writing down the N number?

People never cease to amaze me.

Naaah, the loon is off pondering the fact the US set a record for traffic
deaths last year. In round numbers 43,000. Ought to keep him busy for a
while.

Does the sentence, "You in a whole heap o' trouble there, boy!" mean
anything to the boater, Mr. Edward Kurtz?

Resisting arrest, too! A *whole* heap o' trouble!

That's no record. I remember when it was over 50,000 not too long ago.

The following are all years in which the traffic fatalities were over 50,000
(not all years between 1966-1976 where in the 2004 report)

1966
1970
1978-1980

But the 43440 in 2005 is the highest since 1990.

No medical, no license required.
Anyone can drive a boat.

Isn't interferring with an aircraft a Federal offense as well.
Then there are the anti-terrorism laws dealing with behaviour around
airplanes. Don't know if he'd get caught on any of those or not. Had
he actually left a mark on the plane he could be looking at big
time.:-))

Funny how the highest traffic fatality rates were during the years of
the 55mph speed limit.
