Proposed mandatory PFD law
 

The NTSB in their bureaucratic wisdom is proposing a rule to require ALL
people on recreational boats to WEAR PFD's ALL the time. Here is a link to
the site, and the e-mail address to send your comments to. Since boating has
continually gotten safer, I certainly see no need for this. I do support the
PFD laws for kids and small boats like canoes, kayaks, and PWCs. If you
don't want to end up wearing a life jacket all the time, send it your
comments!

And about time too! It is a shame that gov't has to legislate 'common
sense' but what can you do?

I hope you are kidding.


Nope! I firmly believe that the gov't (or someone else ) has to protect a
certain percentage of the population from themselves,
.....and yes...you are your brother's keeper!

The good Germans who elected Hitler thought the same thing.

I can certainly appreciate your concern for my well being, but I prefer
a less "protective" government that you apparently do. Where do you
draw the line? We must certainly disarm everybody (this has got to mean
knives and clubs to be effective - no baseball bats allowed), prevent
them from participating in hazardous sports (boating, rock climbing,
etc.). Criminalize alcohol, smoking, high school football, hot coffee
at McDonalds drive throughs and obesity.

The problem is that once you start protecting me, there is no end of
things that you will want to protect me from.

No thanks!

Nothing wrong with that in principle. But who made the guvmint everybody's
keeper?

Did I miss something or don't you American types elect your
representatives? Oh wait, I didn't, Gore really did win didn't he.
Hmmm...maybe you're right.

That will make sleeping and showering a challenge. Can I at least
take off the PFD to take off the rest of my clothes?
