The downside is that no matter what group decides to go after the rights of perf boaters, they will have greater numbers. Far more people have been annoyed by perf boaters than have enjoyed perf boating. This is a war that perf boaters can't win.

Of course, people without boats have no right talking with people with boats about what people without boats would think.

Could be. But, sometimes I feel like I am running for a political office waving at everyone. I always wave to the Marine Patrol as well.

And have you ever thought about the number of performance boaters that have been annoyed by performance boaters??

Never used to be that way.
I guess the tables have turned.
