Now...before the Live Free or Die motto gets thrown in my face, freedom comes with responsibilities. And before someone tells me to go back to Massachusetts I will put forth that my family was in the Granite State in the 1700's. And people are tired of the Live Free or Die motto being bandied about to justify rude, selfish, and inconsiderate behavior. This seems to be a reflection of the general deterioration in manners and empathy that we see all about us these days. The lake was NOT like this in the past.
Your thoughts? What to do?

I agree with you there is a general deterioration in manners and empathy. And jet skis are terrible. When somebody anchors in front of a house you would expect a party boat of 20 to try to be a little quiet not scream and holler and laugh loudly all day. I would like to go park a party bus full of people in front of their home while they are sitting on their porch and scream, play loud music, drink, and go to the bathroom on the sidewalk. I don't think they would like it. Having sounded off, most people ARE considerate, but the few spoil it for all. I am sick of it.
