It was around 1955. I was 14. I lived in Paterson, NJ and the waterway was the Passiac River. My first boat was three logs lashed together with a piece of rope. I stood on this raft and used a pole to move the raft. I didn't have..or wear a PFD. No One was concerned.
Later on, I had an 8' hydroplane with a 10 hp outboard on the back. I didn't have or wear a PFD. I did have a life "cushion" that would save me. I also knew how to swim. No One was concerned.
I'm still here .....and an even more obnoxious individual than ever.
Maybe we should just suspend ALL stupid laws that are meant to save me.
Let's look at it another way..that would please Liberals and all those concerned with Global Warming, Overpopulation etc. If I died because of my own stupidity...then the population would be LESS. This would be GOOD.. No...????
I think the hypocrisy of the Left is Glaring.
