What folks are you talking about? The folks who make the laws or th* **o*es who go to a public beach, get drunk, then proceed to show the world how
they morphed into human garbage in front of peoples kids?
Is that who you defend?

I'm talking about the folks that pass the no drinking laws. The prohibitionists. There are already laws against public intoxication.
"Go to the river where ****** are baptizing each other." - huh?

"Those folks".......who are they, TKT???
Your post says a lot about you, your attitude and behavior.
You and your ilk give the rest of us who try and live here among the locals a black eye. Why don't you try Honduras???

Boy, another mean person. Dennis calls me a jerkoff and bajaguy thinks my post says much about my attitude and it appears he doesn't like it. Oh well,
I'm a tolerant person and you guys can certainly think as you like. I think you're swell guys.
I've never been to Honduras, I bet there are some beautiful places there.
Anyway, the point I was trying to make is that Mexico has fewer laws, and I like that.
Let's stay on topic.

TKT`s post is right on! I talked to a friend who recently pushed a guy off the dock into the water (La Salina). He was fined $30 and had to apologize
and that was the end of it! Here (Calif) it would go on for as long as the lawyers could drag it! $30???? More like thousands!!! And I could rant
right along with TKT about laws taking away out freedoms, our access, our rights to choose!

I don't understand your point. Are you saying that it's better to push a person off a dock in Mexico because the laws are less complicated or that
it's a bad decision to push a person off a dock in the US because the law is more complicated?
I'm confused.
I should probably be more confused as to why your friend pushed his friend off a dock but, now I'm tired if thinking about all of it.
Good night.

I'm inclined to side with TKT. It is probably better to giver the beer drinker the benefit of the doubt that he or she can relax while drinking a few
brews and deal with the problems if and when the occur. Here in the states, I think I have a much, much bigger problem with aggressive drivers on the
highway than people getting a bit silly on a beach. And as always, I am inclined to err on the side of freedom rather than restriction. Now a
non-drinking section on a beach would be no problem as long as it doesn't monopolize the entire length of the beach.

We're hijacking - aren't we? Maybe we should knock it off or they will move this to the Hijacking thread.

As to the lawlessness: We have been very busy in the U.S. making laws and hiring lawyers. Take an out-of-work tree trimmer in Florida who decides to
drive his old pickup to Calfornia. He has a pocketknife, some old 22 bullets in the glove box, some paint thinner and fertilizer in the back of the
truck. His insurance has lapsed. As he drives from town to town, state to state he is changing legal jurisdiction with every mile, some times he's
legal, one more mile he's breaking a dozen laws. He is likewise being protected by those same laws from those who would harm him including all the
road builders, sign makers, drunks and speeders, etc. etc. He drives along totally uninformed and unconcerned about the thousands of laws that imping
upon his person and his truck. If and when he stops, gets out of the vehicle a whole new legion of laws await him to either protect him or make him a
sudden local felon.
We don't feel any of that in Baja California. From what I have read on this forum in the last 3 or 4 years most Nomads are responsible travelers --
not reckless, nor scofflaws -- usually ready to help those who might need help along the way and putting no one in danger. It's the kind of feeling I
still have down here, the kind I enjoyed while traveling, fishing lakes and streams all around the noman's land we call The Great Basin.

No rules
I asked my kids what they loved about baja and they said they loved the fact that there are no rules (They were referring to the fact that their mom
stays home and dad is a little more relaxed). They also love the food, the beach, the tequila festival that they snuck into, the people, sliding down
the sand dunes, the vados on the way to puertocitos, fishing, and the chance to bond and spend time with dad without their sisters and mom being
around. They are a little peeved that the girls are coming on our trip down in March but I think they will have just as many good memories when it is
al said and done.
