You think just because we oppose this that we all want to breath dirty air and drink dirty water and chit all over our lakes? Reminds me of someone else........ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dH87c0h4WK8

However, when it comes to the environmental idiots, there's no logical reasoning behind anything they do, they just make the sht up as they go.

We lost one of our best boating party hangouts down here a few years ago and it is now a "bird sanctuary." Birdsht, I say. There's nothing on there except sea gulls, but go within ten yards of the shoreline and the nazi azzholes are all over you.

Yep. You knew exactly what I was talking about.
I go by there regularly and just shake my head in disgust. I can remember so many good times there. Sad shame!

go with what micheal1 wrote, agents are required to inform you of statute(print and lamenate several copies). on new changes we were required to inform public and tell where changes were posted or present copy of changes. they cannot impose regs into channel, lot of communities try to impose no wake, speed and noise into working channel, reality has to exist! the state and federal agents i worked with always bragged; 90% of law enforcement is baffling bull***t. the problem is most judges are so screwed up liberal your chance in court is low.

Indy is totally right, it's a shame that a few people screw it up for everyone. I'm not really sure why you are arguing. We all agree the environmentalist go out of their way to do this kind of stuff, but it's only giving them the reason to do it why they are able.

Maybe I'm just confused because I'm a moderate, oh wait, that's not it, it's just I don't like everyone else's $hit all over the place. And it's not just trash, it pretty nasty when you need to dodge condoms, ****, etc.

Again -- this is really sad to see happen, but I'm not really surprised...to bad for the respectful users of the island.

Its very easy to understand. You won't find anybody here supporting trash on the lake. I presume this area already has fines in place for littering. Just enforce the littering laws that have been on the books for decades, don't close down a whole beach on account of a few idiots. That would hurt the economy, but I realize that comes second to environmentalist and federal agencies. We've had the same thing down here. Had a public beach they couldn't control. Condoms on beach? Try heroin needles and viles.......prostitution, drugs, etc. the Corp closed down the road access to the beach and leased it to a church. People can still boat, beach, party, etc.

You going to close down the roadways for littering too?

Littering laws?? You can not even go near it. Before it was a privately owned and was a free for all. The island was purchased for some 400,000 by whatever agency.
