"A person with a gun and a government badge asked me to swear in writing that a lie was true today. And when I didn’t do what she wanted she simply took my boat and asked me to leave."

That's chilling. It's not just that they overreached and took the boat. It's that they did it because he wouldn't make their life easy by signing a false document.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Figures, the manufacturer has to be the one to step in and tell the government bureaucrats what color the sky truly is, they'll be damned if they listen to the common sense coming from a common citizen!  I would have liked to have gotten the name of the gleeful babboon masquerading as a customs officer, that jackass needs an attitude adjustment!
