If at that house that night you'd substituted Michael Moore for the anchor, he would have demolished their great room.
But he's only around 400 pounds, and not close to 15,000 pounds with sharp edges.
We are all at risk, whether it be from the inherent dangers of boating, or the negligent actions of others.

You could be hit by a bus walking down the side of the street, or have a tree fall on your house as a few families in Windham last night. Or by a boat while sitting in your living room. That's the price you have to pay, to be alive. Some unforeseen catastrophe that you have no control over can always be looming over the horizon. I just can't imagine it's a very fulfilling existence to be walking around with an anvil always hanging over your head. Wondering when it is going to fall.
