While we truely love our tourists and the money they bring our small state I have no problem if you want to stay in Oregon.
I know how the channel markers work, NBR, I've boated on Winni most of my life.

Odds are I'm as competent to operate a boat as you are.

As for other laws I will ignore, let's start with speeding on highways.

I usually drive five to seven mph over the posted speed on an Interstate.

So does most everybody else.

What, you going to tar and feather me for doing what everybody else does?

FWIW, I wouldn't come back to your state if I had no family there and if we didn't have lakefront property on the big lake: pretty far to travel to look at a pretty view and (sometimes) contract duck itch from the less than sterling water in the lake these days.

Your attitude ("stay in Oregon") reminds me of that voiced by a former Oregon governor, Tom McCall: "We want you to visit our State of Excitement often. Come again and again. But for heaven's sake, don't move here to live. Or if you do have to move in to live, don't tell any of your neighbors where you are going."

Narrow opinions for narrow minds, eh?
