The most frequent excuse to do nothing... As a result, in many places in the world, cat sailing is getting bigger, sailing schools are successfull, but here? The thing is just shrinking and disapearing or at best stagnating. Look at the recent F18 worlds, it will give you an accurate picture.
Right, better stay at home and watch TV, it is safer.
Being cautious is not too bad. Because of our litigious (sp?) society I can no longer get insurance for my workers. An employee filed a bogus claim (trust me it is) and because I only have one or 2 at a time they consider me too high of a risk. Now IF I can find it, I can't afford it... all because someone wants a free ride on my dime. Of course those who just work for a check have no clue what it takes to run a business. So now we'll have to "stay home and watch TV" because of the "liability".
