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!!!  |
I am certain I never stated or inferred that lake front land owners are "rich blue bloods" etc. I am not jealous of land owners, I am happy for those that choose this lifestyle and have worked hard for it AND those that did not have to work for it. I have also always respected the rights folks have as landowners. To state, as I did, that someone is "blessed with the luxury of living in one of the most beautiful parts of the planet" does not mean I'm jealous or feel this person is a snob. I thought it sounded pretty nice, actually. That said, I suppose if you are not very religious, you could reasonably translate "blessed" into something less friendly like "entitled", but that is not at all what I meant.
