The first two paragraphs state:


'Apparently not content to confine their legislative excess to Wal-Mart
and small business, Maryland Democrats now are threatening the property
rights of Maryland boaters, proposing a new bill ostensibly aimed at
nothing more than attempting to "protect us from ourselves."

House Bill 140 is a deplorable and intrusive bit of legislation that
would
require every individual on a boat to wear a personal flotation device
(PFD) while the boat is underway. This bill not only requires the
boat's
operator to wear a PFD but also specifically "prohibits an individual
from
operating or allowing the operation of a vessel while there is present
in
the vessel an individual not wearing a PFD..." and "[applies]
regardless of
[an individual's] age or size of the vessel."


The property rights of Maryland boaters? The writer of the article is
an
idiot.


The writer's intelligence aside...


What are your thoughts on this stupid law being enacted by the
Democrat-controlled legislature?


MY thoughts are that because of YOUR comments, the post now belongs in
a.politics.


OK, lemming.

But I wasn't asking for your thoughts. If I gave you a penny for *your*
thoughts, I'd get change back.
