Actually, with all the facts that have been brought to light in this 'accident', I prefer to think that I would have enough moral fiber to stand before the judge, say that I had made idiotic choices that resulted in a tragedy, plead guilty, and spend a significant amount of my energy in my remaining years performing some sort of public service and speaking about the enherent dangers of making bad decisions while captaining a boat...
I hope to never be in that position, but I like to think that is what I would do!
There is a lot of gnashing of teeth and crying about "becoming a nanny state"... maybe if
people took responsiblity for their actions... we wouldn't have to have so many nanny laws...
Just me, thinking out loud... now let's hope for a beautiful and safe summer on the lake -PIG
