Bingo, I suspect the useless proclaimation of a 600' NWZ was the result of a poll watching puffed suit in the NH corner office. Good leaders are hard to find. Tough decisions are hard to make.

Let's try this one more time, I think we agree on the basic concepts, we just don't agree as to the extent to which they should be carried out. I want to try an analogy here. Suppose your house is robbed. You've taken reasonable precautions, dead bolts, locked your windows, alarm system still you got robbed. I come along and say "Pfft, Dave,
there is much more you could have done, this is your fault" . "Why you should have barred all your windows, and installed steel plates over your doors. Dug a moat around your home, filled it with alligators and water and installed a draw bridge." "Then you will be safe and I will listen to your complaint about being robbed, otherwise, suck it up and be quiet."
You, Dave, say to yourself, "Well he does have a point, there is more I could have done." "However, if I bar up my windows, and install steel plates over my door, my quality of life will diminish". "If I dig a moat, fill it with alligators and build a draw bridge, my neighbors won't be too happy, the natural beauty of my lot will be destroyed. Never mind the issue of alligator dung all over my lawn." "At first glance, ITD's bars and moats seem like a perfectly reasonable thing to do. But who wants to live next to a moat?"
All right, I have too much time on my hands.........
