Well said DoTheMath.

There is an emerging theme being spoken to in many postings. It is the alcohol that is the problem!!!! Let's suggest a 2 year trial law reinstating prohibition. Of course there will be a sun setting provision governed by intelligently written laws with objectives and criteria to measure the effectiveness. As the debate rages I will start a "Rum Running" operation (so I can make a lot of money!) and the SL problem as well as my budget problem would be solved

Then the next problem we will need to address is the allowable size of a boat on Winnipesauke. We will need to create a law limiting any vessel over the gross weight of 3 tons, no make it 4, no make it 5, no it should be 3.6, oh never mind, let us have a forum debate to set the limit and get these unsafe "bigger than anyone should need" cruisers off the lake for the safety of the children and environment.

Sorry for the sarcasm but I just could not resist. I could not find the smiley face for that.

I do enjoy the bantering in the threads but sometimes they do go to the edge and get a little heated but all survive. Congratulations to all who have survived the punches (both delivered and received). There is enough material in these posts to validate many positions and we will see how the media picks it up and how the politicians do their jobs.

I have not changed my mind and do not think we should have as many laws as we do but agree with many that b'heads need to be addressed whether their actions are alcohol induced or just poor genetics.
