: That looks suspiciously like a law or regulation made by someone
: with no knowledge at all of the things the law was to be applied
: to.

: I can think of a few reasons why it might be a good idea to have a
: registration requirement for something as big, heavy, fast and
: potentially dangerous as a 15' powerboat or sailboat, but I
: can't think of any reason why it should be necessary to register
: something that is unlikely to weigh more than 30 or 40 lbs and
: is most unlikely to travel faster than 5 or 6 knots.

: Don't the legislators understand the differences between powerboats
: and kayaks?

: Or is there something I don't know about America? :-)

Taxes, like most everywhere else, it's a way for the goverment to bring in money.
