New Hampshire to outlaw swimming

So now we have:

1 Flag or whistle for paddlers

2 Flag for boats with downed skiers

3 No shore lights that look like boats

4 Boater education must have proctored exam

5 If you're forced to take boater education because you broke another rule it has to be in a classroom.

6 effective 1/1/2007

Well at least the real silly stuff is gone.

1. I'm sure the paddlers will be annoyed, but I can't imagine carrying a whistle is onerous enough to muster the troops against the law. If I was as worried as some of the people say they are I'd carry a canned air horn, only $5 at Walmart.

2. Again, not onerous enough to garner widespread opposition. Another $5 problem.

3. Too inclusive as written, but conceptually who will have a problem with this.

4. Annoys me because I took the online test and didn't cheat. But I can see abuse is possible. I don't think there will be widespread opposition.

5. and 6. OK
