    Actually, yes. First google hit. Sadly (?), I didn't realize what the boat was until I had done the search... I thought maybe it was some lost war machine.

    Obviously, you only know OF Gilligan's Island. The ultimate fate of the U.S.S. Minnow was revealed in Episode #8 "Good Bye Island" and yes, it was Gilligan's fault!

    using a combination of white LEDs, pedal generators and rechargable batteries.

    Nothing innovative about this, the Professor was using pedal generators to power ALL KINDS OF THINGS while shipwrecked on Gilligan's Island back in the late 60s / early 70s.

    do you know the name of any given modern ship captain? Who can forget (though we all try), Captain Stubing? Or is the Love Boat not considered modern? (BTW, there's some really angry people posting on that site, not suprising, given the name, http://www.whowouldyoukill.com) Or Jonas Grumby (better known as "The Skipper")?

    I have a right to property. You have a right to property. We both have these rights. But your right can only impede my right if I owe some special obligation to you because of a prior relationship or agreement (like contracts or marriage or whatnot). In fact, we don't have a prior relationship, so there is no "harm" done. Your version of the "harm principle" is quite disturbing, because it allows for no stopping point. Under your conception, every annoyance is a harm.

    Great! I'll be the one parking the unmarked van with the Phasor Pain Field Generator mounted on the fender outside your house tomorrow morning at 3A.M., then walking away. Don't touch--it's my property, and we don't have a contract that says I won't do this. Sounds like a protection scheme, doesn't it?

    The "special obligation" is that you live in a society, with other people, not on an island or in a shack in Nowhere, Montana. If this is too much of an infringement on your property rights, there is a place (formerly inhabited, but now devoid of human presence) where you can enjoy those rights to the fullest. Why not go there now?
