New Jersey operator licensing

Wrong.

I am saying that *I* should not have to bear the burden of
*your* dangerous hobby.

You wanna ride around at 60 mph on PWC? That's pefectly OK.

Go ahead and do what you want. Don't crash into me, and
don't require *me* to take a course to learn safe boating,
when I've already been boating safely for decades, just
because hundreds of other people with boats like yours crash
into other boats ( & swimmers & docks & each other).

That seems very simple, logical, straight forward, and fair.

.... I still don't think the
burden is that onerous.

Well, why does your opinion control my life?

Maybe you're just saying that there should be a distinction made
between sailors and
power-boaters.

Why shouldn't there be?

When was the last time another boater, or swimmer, was
killed by high speed collision with a sailboat?

.... I don't think
certification should be required
for, say, kayakers.

Why not?

Why not require a license for swimming, too?
