Just seems more often there are homeowners out on their docks letting folks have it - some with justification and sometime without. My point was that we have become meaner. We feel quite at ease to blast somebody - perfect strangers even - to just yell and give them heck.
There is a loss of civility all around us, and I would have hoped that the "shangri-la" aspects of a lake I have visited and call home in the summers (for nearly 40 years) would not have fallen victim to such a negative behavior, but it seems to have, especially in the past couple of years.  |
I think we need to get t-shirts made up with "Proud Winni h2o Fronter". I love it!! When you put it the way you just did I completely understand where you're coming from and now I understand what you're trying to say. I agree with your points about yelling at people just to yell and the loss of civility. You've been up at the lake for 40 summers?? You have much more experience than I do to base your opinion on. Let's hope things change...for the better.
