Well, Bob, you worded it like the way you were told. the 1990's 'mission statement'. I am more interested in the mission statement of the 1790's.
'Sealanes' was what is now called 'international waters'? and pirates, like Somolia and bay of Bengal nowdays, was the issue. When debating the second ammendment, if there was no war, there was to be no standing army or navy, unless utilzed, to save citizen's lives and property. They needed duties to justify their funding. Then as now, so these cutbacks are- what the gov't is suppose to do. If the tax payer had to pay for wars that aren't there, and all the pensions and services earned and needed, well, eventualy we are ALL tax payers.
'Safe commerce' in US waters was -let's see- Lighthouse service, Lifesaving service, navigation aid service?- they were merged in-1913 and 1939? My father's first ship was a lighthouse tender. 'REVENUE cutter SERVICE'...remind you of something else under dept of treasury??? Like Internal REVENUE SERVICE? Not exactly anti pirate, but anti unarmed tax dodging smugglers? Did they tell you about those good ol days? Tell you what. Next week I will be down by the ocean,I will pull into New London and stop in the academy museum, and ask the historians there if I am off on another planet again.....

Today's Featured Article - Memories of an IH Super A When I was ? up to 10, I worked on my Papaw's farm in Greeneville, TN every summer. As I grew older (7), it was the thrill of my day to ride or drive on the tractor. My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to ... [Read Article]
