APS since the carrying of booze is illegal, immoral or unethical in boats no one on any island can drink in their camps. Unless they build a still or a vineyard.
It must be illegal, immoral or unethical in cars and trucks as well given the huge issue with drunk driving. This means that you either don't drink, only drink in bars or are just confused.

1) "Head-on" collisions in boating
is a rare occurrance.
Ejection from boats involved in collisions is
not a rare occurrance; therefore,
BWI in boating is a far more important consideration than on our roadways.
2) BTW: Your arguments are fine examples of
reductio in absurdum. (Found at a thread titled, "
1984 Today"
)

"The term reductio in absurdum is also often used for arguments where a conclusion is derived in the belief that everyone will agree it to be false or absurd, or which at least certain persons being argued against will agree is false or absurd. However this is a weak form of reductio, since the final decision to reject the original premise is contingent upon whether the conclusion derived from it really is agreed to be absurd".

How else could an
SBONH opponent take it?
—and why not? They already treat Lake Winnipesaukee's proven cases of Manslaughter like those collisions were "just accidents"!
Will somebody from
SBONH's Board please tell us that
pm203 is
not a
SBONH member!

Like the Isolationism that preceeded WWII, I reject Prohibition:
under the Prohibition Amendment, some Americans showed that they will only observe the laws they agree with.
