It appears the longer this thread goes, the more people are responding with "education and awareness" is the key to the situation at hand.
Over in the Speed Limit Poll thread, I noticed that BearLover was getting dressed down a bit by his/her own members. (not meant to be offensive here, settle down people)
I'm only stating that more and more seem to be agreeing that speed limits are not the answer, that they are nothing more than an approach that some would use to try to remove the big bad "ceegar" boats from the Lake.
I have a novel suggestion. If you want to ban one boat, ban them all. No canoes, no sailboats, no fishboats, no bowriders, no nothing. Not even an inner tube to float around in. Ban humans from the water, not even swimming. Allow them to fish but only from shore or a dock. What is good for one should be good for all. And what is bad for one should be bad for all.
Then watch what happens to your precious property values.
Like already posted, concentrate on the issue at hand, safety on the lake. And stop demonizing others who have/post different opinions than some of you.
One more thing, I think it's really "chicken" to go into the Marine Mafia site, steal posts, post them here for no other reason than to try to discredit otherwise respectful meanngful posts here. Those of you that have done that should register at the other site and post your views there. If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
