It is human nature for them to believe that they are not harming the Marine Patrol mission, that is why they will be easy to convince that the only solution is to layer on more restrictive legislation.

Skip, respectfully, this is why the tea party movement is relevent. We are sick of the way things have always been done, Repubs and Dems. We need a new way to conduct the People's Business. |
I truly see your point, but don't want this to morph into an unrelated political thread.
But you and others (I hope) see what I have seen go on in the legislature for the past decades I've had to follow it.
Many people ask "how did we get all these convoluted laws and regulations"? I think the speed limit issue, and how it expanded from a single issue on a single lake, into a law that covers all lakes on some issues, one lake on one issue and now interweaves with your Driver's License is a perfect example of legislation gone wild!
Hey, maybe we could get one of the cable channels to pick this up as a reality series:
Legislation Gone Wild! I'd think that BI would make the perfect host...that is after he safely returns from orbit....
