And this is supposed to be some sort of "all-inclusive compromise committee"??

Elchase,
I am not sure if you were referring to me but it certainly seems that way. No I don’t own a go-fast boat but I do oppose the speed limit.
Why?
When you take the rights and liberties away from one group it diminishes us all.
No the speed limit does not effect me personally. I have never been in a go-fast never mind driven one. I was not the target of this law…this time. But what is next?
Cruisers, bass boats, ski-boats, PWC????
How about this one…
The lake belongs to us all. What happens if the next issue addressed in Concord is access to the lake? The majority of people in this state don’t own waterfront property. This isn’t fair to people who don’t own property. If everybody has equal rights to the lake why should they be limited to just the public beaches? Why can’t everyone enjoy the entire lake and all of the lake’s shoreline? What if the next legislation makes all shorefront public property?
I guess some people believe it is perfectly fine for rights and liberties to be taken away for individuals as long as it’s not your group. The problem is, if you let that happen, someday they will come for you too.
The funny thing about this Elchase, In spite of your arrogance and insults… I would still support you if you are in the next targeted group.
