The patrons of Lake Winder-mere are complaining because as of midnight tonight they will no longer be able to speed along the great lake. This will allegedly elimnate speed boats and water skiers from the lake.
What's wrong with that? Do people not realize how dangerous these sports are? Especially on such small area's of water? They have had a good thing for far too long and now they are moaning that they will have to give it all up!
What about the ecological reasons for stopping the excessive speeds? If the current level of activity carries on there will be no natural system and eventually no lakes.
I am sick of people moaning and complaining about these things when there has been a public forum, there has been a democratic voting process and they have had five years to prepare for tonight.
Many business are complaining that they will loose money or go under. Why didn't they take the five years to diversify instead of complaining? Surely there will be a rise in smaller, quieter boats on the lake - why not shift your business to concentrate on the needs of these new customers?
Business is all about adapt and change and I am amazed at how ignorant people can be to progress.
There were reports that some boat owners (mainly middle aged fathers whom are happy to be pictured with the whole family in thier boat), are going to flaunt the speed limits and continue their "hobby"! I am sure these must be the BMW drivers of the Lake - what complete tossers!
When will people learn?
