Now there's a name I've not heard in a while Abbie "Steal this Book" Hoffman.

Anyway, I'd say 6.5 miles off shore is pretty far away from the population...

It will frighten you, Tony, to know that I keep a copy of "Steal this Book" not five feet from my desk. Tho' old Abbie liked guns a bit too much for my taste. Nice quote from the Introduction: "Free speech is the right to shout "theater" in a crowded fire." Ah, the good old days....
