It is the responsibility of every American citizen to own a modern military rifle.

Interesting take. I thought that "duck boats" are mainly for Red Sox and Patriots championship parades.
Were there no survivors?
Difficult to understand why an agile 12 year old aboard was unable to dive out a window.
As another life-long sailor I agree it's a dangerous design.
BUT !!
However much I may personally disfavor it, such cat. fails as this are apparently rare for this design. It seems to favor calm water.
I suspect in this case the skipper could have saved vessel & passengers by reversing course. The video I saw showed the vessel directly into the wind.
I deduce the bilge pump/s if any couldn't keep up with the flood over the gunwale.
Not one survivor?
"It should be obvious to anyone why conservatives and libertarians should be against Trump. He has no grounding in belief. No core philosophy. No morals. No loyalty. No curiosity. No empathy and no understanding. He demands personal loyalty and not loyalty to the nation. His only core belief is in his own superiority to everyone else. His only want is exercise more and more personal power." smb / purveyor of fact 18/03/18

We have the intellect to imagine the finality of our own demise but do not have the sophistication to overcome our survival instinct and accept it.
Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
Ergo, religion.

Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.
There was a forecast of incoming weather. They should never have left the dock that day.

Ride The Ducks demonstrated a callous disregard for the safety of their passengers.
Weather service reports gave the warnings at 11:00 AM, accurately projecting the path and the intensity of the system by doppler radar and computer models, and updated every 20 minutes.
Ride The Ducks owner said the storm "came out of nowhere".
In 1890 he could have said that. In 2018, not so much.
