"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.

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!
