I was finally able to create useable categories for our discussion forum. Now when you click on the FORUM tab under the banner, you will see there are many categories to choose from. This should help us to better manage and search for answers to our many and varying questions.<br />
<br />
If you have any ideas for other categories, let me know and I will see about adding them. Having too many categories (ie: one for each boat type) could actually make it more difficult to find what you are looking for,…

Having too many categories (ie: one for each boat type) could actually make it more difficult to find what you are looking for, but let's hear those suggestions anyway.

I am sorry, but I had to post this. Things are getting out of hand.<br />

So, if I am reading this right, "they" want to set up an unconstitutional legal system whereby "they" can jail suspects that "they" label as "terrorists" without charge and make the trials secret?<br />

WASHINGTON — President Obama told human rights advocates at the White House on Wednesday that he was mulling the need for a “preventive detention” system that would establish a legal basis for the United States to incarcerate terrorism suspects who are deemed a threat to national security but cannot be tried, two participants in the private session said.<br />
<br />
The discussion, in a 90-minute meeting in the Cabinet Room that included Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. and other top administration officials, came on the eve of a much-anticipated speech Mr. Obama is to give Thursday on a number of thorny national security matters, including his promise to close the detention center at the naval base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.<br />

Click the link above as there is more of this article that is disturbing.<br />
<br />
Of course, you also have the <b>Patriot Act</b> which allows for "terror" suspects to be detained without charge or trial. "Terrorist" is not defined enough to delineate between a citizen teenager who makes prank phone calls or a person with a bomb strapped to their waist.<br />
<br />
You have the <b>Military Commissions Act of 2006</b>,which allows for the indefinite imprisonment of anyone who ... speaks out against the government's policies, and also allows for secret trials for <i>citizens</i> and noncitizens alike.<br />
<br />
Why are more people not crazy ass mad about this? These things fly directly in the face of our Constitution!!<br />
<br />
If this tyranny can happen in the US, the tyranny will soon follow to those of you living in other countries.

I started this site so that Wharramites, as I like to call us, could freely talk about their builds, the designs, and exchange information without the hassle of the other forums out there. I grew tired of having to wait on the administrators to answer questions and approve photos. They also would not allow links, would edit posts, and then delete entire posts or forums that they did not agree with.<br />
<br />

<br />
I promise not to do that to you here. Controversial subjects are not taboo here. However, stay in good taste (no nudity, or extreme profanity please) and if you are stating <i>your</i> opinion, say so. If you have facts about something, be sure to add that information to your posts. If you heard something from a friend of a friend, say so.<br />
<br />
Feel free to post <i><b>your</b></i> photos and materials, and videos and links to your website. Create your own groups, customize your personal page, and enjoy the site. You can make posts about things that you are selling so long as it relates to boating in some way. If you are selling one of something, please be sure to make a follow-up post when you have sold it.<br />
<br />
Those that are not building Wharrams are also welcome here, we just ask that you are building a wooden boat especially if they are multihulls.<br />
