Don't sweat it CC if people want to go ahead and include themselves in with those who need to have their common sense legislated. To me complaining about this is like buying an expensive fast sports car and then complaining that we have a speed limit. Special interests may have pushed for this. Or maybe someone was out on the water on a Saturday in July and said "Dang. This lake is getting out of control." Freshwater asks the right question. Where is personal accountability? It's not just the big boaters who seem to have forgotten all about courtesy and care. In fact, they are often the ones who know it best. It is a shame when anyone loses their rights, really. But if you look at the lakes of the world, you can pretty much guess that the big boaters will not be the last to lose some rights before it's over. Since people don't have that personal accountability (otherwise known as boaters' courtesy), the rules are necessary. Personally, I've only been swamped by a cigar boat once or twice.
