If a power boat is speeding or out of control it endangers everybody on the lake. A swimmer going out more than 150' without being accompanied might be an idiot, but he only endangers his own life. Seems to me this is one case where the live free or die principal DOES apply.

Well now,seems the shoe is on the other foot, some of your liberties are about to be trampled and you change your tune.

Should we throw the arguments back at you? Think about the children. Think about the fear. We all must give up some of our liberty for the "greater good". GWC conducted a poll showing resounding support for this bill.

I love it, if the speed limit passes, this bill should pass too.
