I mean be real a speed limit is not about “big brother” and it is not an infringement on ones freedom anymore than any other rules of society or law.

I do agree with the comments that have been made that a lot of the issue has to do with rudeness but rudeness seems to have become the norm. Since, we cannot outlaw rudeness anymore than we can instill common sense into people. My position is slower is better for the majority of the people on the lake.

Additionally I am truly confident that the speed limit will become law it is only a matter of time.

I hope this post doesn’t get you all cranked up again but I could use a morning smile with my coffee.

I'll try to remain to calm and not call people names or tell them they don't have the ability to understand the other side of an argument or call them "least intelligent", I really will. You are making progress with the rudeness admission, keep looking for the statistics and evidence to support your speed limit, maybe you'll finally come to the realization that it's not necessary. I hope I've given you something to smile about.
