Woodsy, you are surely right about that point, but then look what you say and do next;

You cause the very divisiveness that you abhor by repeatedly mistating the motives of the supporters and calling us liars. I believe your reasoning for opposing HB162. I can't see into your mind, so trust that you speak the truth about your motives. I agree that we just disagree about speed limits and the effect they will have. I don't call you a liar or put words in your mouth about your motives as you repeatedly do to us. We all keep asking for the same respect from you as we give you in this regard, but can't seem to get it. Everyone I have discussed HB162 sees it as a safety issue (not to say that an anti-cigarette boat reason or any other reason would not be as valid as a safety reason if coming from one of the lake's owners...one man - one vote). Some supporters are performance boat owners but are happy to go 45 in them because they believe it would be safer. Do you feel they hate themselves? I have never met a person who said "I support HB162 because I have a personal issue with high performance boats, and I just plain don’t like them or their owners."
