Sailing insurance

Should it be mandatory for yachtsmen to have insurance protection against rescue? Around Britain a sailor cost ?5000 last week & Stan Bullimore cost a million in search & rescue.

Hang 'em all, incarcerate them.

In the time that hanging was so popular (between 1720 -1750) being hanged for between 30 or 150 crimes, what offences could you be sent to prison for?

Why did the Americans decide on English as their language, when they had Spanish, Portuguese, French, Dutch & others to choose from?
