I hope you not dragging up that old "fear" quote again!

YES, in my opinion HB162 is about "fear". Fear that children swimming near my dock will be killed by a high speed boat that has about 1 second to see them and react. Fear that a GFBL will go up and over my family boat at high speed. Fear that the lake is becoming a proving ground for faster and faster boats that have been run out of other States by speed limits. Fear that the lakes economy is being ruined by a growing tourist perception of an out of control lake.

Safety is connected with fear. I fasten my cars seat belt for safety. Which is another way of saying I "fear" going through the windshield.

Yes, its all about fear!
