Can't sleep in a boat, can't sleep on the beach, boy have things changed since I was in my 20's.
Can't have a fire at the beach. Slow down you go to fast, speed up your going to slow. When does this stupedity end?
Glad I only have a few more years to go.

Too much oversimplification here. For example, the present crisis in the Gulf of Mexico could have been prevented/mitigated by a few more laws. The "liberties" of a few here caused unprecedented hardships for countless others. Ditto housing crisis/economic meltdown.
I doubt there were laws 100 years ago that made it illegal to dump human waste into the lake and it probably wouldn't have made much difference; now there are far more people sharing a limited resource. Some people wish we could return to the Golden Pond era from decades earlier. We can't....many more people are sharing this precious resource.
