Default I am sick of this nonsense.

There is a certain group of people who keep saying the “Lake belongs to all of us.”

Yet, they are the same group that wants to take the lake away from another certain group.

Hmmm

Do you see the hypocrisy?

Just like the rest of the real world. The whole lake is NOT for everybody at all times. If you go out on the broads in a 16ft bowrider on the weekend you are a moron. It’s also not the appropriate place for a canoe, rowboat, or swimmer. There are days when it is not appropriate for a 25 foot bowrider to be on the broads. Slowing down boats will not make this lake any safer. The lake was a dangerous place 40 years ago and it’s a dangerous place today. This argument made by the supporters truly has nothing to do with speed or safety. It’s making sure everybody is equal.

If the proponents where so sure they were right, why are they pushing the bill to become permanent before any studies can be done? The reason is they don’t want the facts to get in the way. Right now, the statistics show the law is either not enforceable or there was never a problem with speed.


Life is not fair. Sometimes the Lake isn’t either.
