POLL - Speed Limit

Seaplane Pilot · 12-28-2005, 02:55 PM

Should this insane idea for a speed limit somehow pass through the legislature, I think we should give the supporters of the bill just what they asked for. Initially, we should identify the lakefront locations of the major supporters of HB162 and focus the initial "rallys" in these areas as a "show of gratitude" for their deep concern for everyone else's welfare. We'll organize every boat we can find; large, small, fast, slow, cruisers and cigarette boats - for these "thank you" rallys.

We'll parade by the supporters' waterfront homes all day (150' apart and 150' from anything else) doing 25mph, waving to the happy supporters as we go by. I'm sure they will love the 4' swells pounding their boats, docks and shorelines all day long. I'm sure that they'll send little Junior out in his kayak to watch the parade, because a 25mph boat is a safe boat in their mind. Forget the 4' swells that will capsize poor Junior and trash their waterfront property - they're happy now that the responsible boaters operating under control but doing more than 45mph (tossing a 1' wake) are off the lake and pose no danger whatsoever.

We should also boycott any retail establishment owned by anyone who has expressed support for this bill. Mill Falls and sister companies - this means YOU!

Be careful what you wish for WINFABS crowd - you just might get it.
