CLA is exactly correct - the lack of respect is everywhere, not just in boating.
The roads, the ski slopes, and on and on.
I've been skiing since the 50's, but I don't enjoy it any longer with the lack of respect on the slopes; have not skied in three years cuz.....!
The highways are equally bad; in my driver ed, we were taught to travel right and pass on left! The reverse happens now. Signs are gone that used to depict the rules. In Europe you'd receive large fines for not traveling right. Even law enforcement vehicles disobey "rules of the road"!
Boaters: again, I grew up in a boating family and we respected others on the water. Some new boaters think "they own it all". The marinas "sell" the boats with no orientation to operation and/safety.
It all comes to the lack of respect & common sense.
PS: "Just ANOTHER ...... TAXPAYER that is NOT allowed to VOTE!"
This phrase is everywhere: not just NH; Vail, CO second home owner who resides in CA or TX. Cape Cod cottage owner, who resides in NYC! MD or NJ shore second home owner who resides in VA or Wash, DC. It's all over! Give me a break!
