Ok Wait a friggin minute.... I have been monitoring this thread just wondering if someone would say something foolish like this....
This is something that I like to call liberal feel good legislation. (Givia, I am not trying to single you out, you just happen to have the example)......
The idea here isn't aweful.... but how do you enforce it.... the truth of the matter is this is something that would be an unenforcable after the damage is done kinda of law. Anyboday that wears thier laynard is going to continue to wear it. anyone that doesn't will not. And the only way to get caught is to wreck your boat and be unconscious when the authorities get there to see that you don't have it attached. So what did the law really do....
NOT A DAM THING
Not everything can be legislated.... legislation is not how we make the world safe. Education, on the other hand......
well I will step off my soap box.....
