And then KonaChick tries to make a joke out of someone's death.

Well, I'm not laughing.

Look, people make mistakes all the time and some pay the ultimate price for a mistake. But at least his mistake wasn't the cause of an innocent person being killed.

I know all about hypothermia. My collegiate sailing team is on the water from the end of February until mid November. But we all dress for the cold temperatures. And I kayak in northern NH from mid April to mid Nov, but I have the proper gear for doing so. And I don't drink. And I wear a PFD. And my kayak has sealed flotation chambers. And I can do self rescues.

I do everything I can to be safe out there. But I can't protect myself from someone who is going too fast to notice me. Which is why I'm fighting for a speed limit - because I don't want to become a statistic.

Is there nothing that you will not stoop to? And my posts are the ones being moderated!!! I don't even think I want to be part of a forum like this one anymore.

You are not the type of people that I even want to associate with.

I'm not trying to make a joke of anyone's death but simply pointing out that a speed limit would not have made a difference in this man's death, sorry to say. I used the "rolling my eyes" smilie to simply convey that a speed limit would not have helped this man. This man died from his own foolish choices. Let's end the comments about joking about this man's death as that was not my intention. Thank you!
