Default No Brainer for Me

Funny, I come across this thread after arriving home and finding the WinnFABS mailer in my mailbox. Just read it and visited the Web site. Compelling stuff.

Here's a simple observation on the matter (guaranteed to raise ire, provoke flames, and induce name-calling):

A speed limit is not a bad thing. Heck, I think if I opened up the throttle on our boat, it might hit 45 MPH. And it's a pretty thrilling ride at that speed. And, when you think about it, 25 MPH at night is probably as fast anyone really needs to go.

(Now here's the part that'll tee off some folks)... Now, if HB 162 passes, perhaps those who own the giant, meant-for-ocean boats that typically are the fastest on the Lake will take their "business" elsewhere. The result: A bit less congestion, a lot less noise, fewer eyesores, fewer speed-related incidents, less pollution... Sounds like a no-brainer, quality-of-life upgrade to me!

Okay, flame away.
