Dave R your rationale doesn't make sense to me. The reason why my husband and I are able to afford this "luxury" is because we have worked hard and made some inelligent business decesions. I won't even go into the hours, days, years that my husband spent building up his business. This wasn't handed to us on a silver platter. Of course we want to protect our assets and more importantly the asset of Lake Winnipesaukee itself. You make it seem trivial that we as waterfront homeowners want to make sure our beloved land and the land surrounding our precious Lake Winnipesaukee is protected. THIS IS OUR HOME!!! You're portraying us as rich bluebloods who are complaining that the "commonfolk" are ruining our martini time. IT JUST AIN'T SO!!!
