Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Re: Security (and columbia subs)
That type
of crap will certainly get personal subs heavily regulated or banned.
Thats interesting.
The automobile is also used for smuggling, not to mention kidnapping,
robbery, bombing, murder..... and you never hear of anyone talk of banning
them?
Although, automobiles are regulated, which gives the government its cut of
the profits from both criminals and law abiding citizens. So its like the
citizens are taxed to balance out what the criminals don't pay. Win-win for
the government.
We know that when the psub is profitable, it is regulated, taxes are owed,
like tourist subs.
So it seems that bean counters don't want to ban, they want to regulate,
this maintains cash flow. Ethics and what not are not really in the equation
until special interest kicks in.
Psubs are regulated by ignorance. Like ignorant park rangers who don't have
a clue how a sub works and since they think they now more about anything and
everything then you do, there is no way you (a stupid taxpayer) could
possibly operate, let alone have built, your own sub.
I have been encouraged by other sub builders to keep quiet about my personal
interest in subs since you may be ridiculed and labeled crazy. This is
probably the only advice I've gotten that I have done the complete opposite.
The initial head scratching done by my initially ignorant family, friends,
relatives and neighbors has evolved into their having a greater
understanding of applied engineering and a boost in their general interest
of doing something cool with what school taught them.
It is our joy and responsibility to present psubs to the world and encourage
discussion.
my 2 cents,
Adam
