It is not just people who live in tight quarters who have the passage of boats at 150 feet. Some boats are loud but most are not. I don't let the few bother me. Everyone who lives on, or near the lake is in a similar condition. Only the frequency of events might change from area to area. It might be an assumed risk with living next to a State Park with motorized vehicles.
We actually do not live in a democracy. We live in a "Democratic Republic". We democratically elect people who we hope represent our values to make the correct decision for us. For example, if the majority of us believed the speed limit on 93 should be 95 mph, it does not mean that is what would happen. We trust our elected officials to make the right decision for us. Sometimes that works out and sometimes it does not. (I could name a few examples where it has not worked out for the majority of us on the national level)
SSOTD, I do appreciate the calm tenner of your post.
