Suppose after using it for a few years you become convinced that public safety and pollution are a problem. You read the water quality reports and you are concerned about the dropping quality of your drinking water. You have had a few close calls on the lake and decide something must be done about congestion. So now you speak out for a speed or horsepower limit, and you are told, over and over, that you are lying about your real reason for that support. And people are mistakenly saying that all you REALLY want is to keep others from enjoying the lake. Would you think that was fair? Would you dislike being called a liar?
