Iconic airboats won’t be part of Everglades culture for much longer
The Miami Herald ^ | 12/27/13 | Sue Cocking

Privately operated airboats, icons of the Gladesmen culture of the Everglades, will be dwindling in number because the Park Service isn’t granting any new licenses.

Do you remember the guy, I don’t recall if he was Special Forces or a SEAL but I do know he was one or the other. What happened was that he had bought some land on the edge of the Everglades to spend [live out]his life. The Government decided that they wanted it and offered to but it. He refused to sell and the Government was preparing to kill him and take possession of his land when he realized that if necessary the Government would take his life to accomplish their end and made a deal. And who was going to kill him? These same cops [The Agency is unimportant, they will all follow orders when the time comes]that many on this forum worship the ground they walk and spit on.

“These same cops [The Agency is unimportant, they will all follow orders when the time comes]that many on this forum worship the ground they walk and spit on.”

FR has a few of the “cop sucker” or “badge lapper” catagory, but most of the FR community is well aware of the militarization of American police forces and the dangers therein.

Alas, America re-elected a treasonous Muslim Al-Mansurian candidate and must suffer the consequences. Whether we have the courage of those Americans of days past is probably going to be determined sooner than either of us wish.

But, Islam and commies are what they are. As both systems are collapsing under the weight of their faulty premises, and as neither can accept fundamental revision of those faulty premises, we will be attacked. Sooner than later if I am correct.

This is the consequence of establishing faceless bureaucracies that are allowed to basically act without Congressional supervision. Congress has abdicated it’s responsibility of governing.

These faceless bureaucrats create law out of whole cloth.

We kinda need to be in the vicinity of Asheville for the V.A. Hospital there. Can you recommend a nice little community near there with actual neighborhoods? My wife and I have a thing about not being too "woodsy" as she calls it. Maybe an area where there are neighborhoods or lots where we can build. Looking to build a retiree's dream home in terms of energy savings, efficiency and lack of maintenance as well as durability under extreme conditions.... But don't want to be extremely rural, either. My wife is recovering from cancer. For both our sakes as we age, I want EMT's to be able to get to us quickly. Ya know?

Both of these modes of cpnveyance give maximum freedom and security to those who know how to disappear and conduct potential guerilla war from the outbacks of North America.

Exactly and in that piece of brilliant and long overdue analysis, you have hit upon the exact reason for the war on gas guzzling SUV's and 4x4 pickups that's been going on for decades. It has nothing to do with fuel consumption or carbon footprint. It has everything to do with American heritage and freedom. Think of it, if everybody drove a Prius then how easy would it be for a governing power to simply close the exits between cities on the interstate and use the local cops on local roads. With everybody driving a vehicle that can't drive on the median dividing north and southbound lanes, let alone truly off road, you have the makings of a police state because true control of movement is possible.

There is an area called Swannanoa near the VA. I don’t know anything about the neighborhoods but I’m sure you could look at some houses online and see. It must be pretty quiet because the locals call it “swannanowhere”. LOL
