I get just close enough to use my binoculars to look in windows.

JK, but I think what we're talking about here is representative of a greater problem facing America, which is the "Culture of Me." Essentially, that everybody needs to be cool and that everyone else comes second. If people were just reasonably thoughtful of others, this thread, and others like it--read: Braun Bay thread shutdown, 150' rule thread--wouldn't exist.

Be the change...

I assume this is from the bit longer Gandhi quote "Be the change you wish to see in the world"


This to me is the crux of these 'arguments'.

Do 'we' want to be the change that focuses on not creating conflict and focusing on 'peace' or do we want to be the change that goes out of our way to create conflict and aggravation for others?

To me the choice is clear. It is an ENORMOUS lake with thousands of nice spots to drop anchor, to go out of your way to just piss someone off seems like a huge waste of time and energy. But this is why they say 'misery loves company'...people going out of their way to create these conflicts are just as miserable, if not more so, then the miserable people on shore yelling at you...
