To a degree, all the stakeholders should have some say. As an example,
if you live on a moderately sized lake and suddenly there is an
infestation of unmuffled "penis" boats zooming close by your house every
Sunday morning at 8 am, you should have input into whether that sort of
behavior is "responsible." When we lived in the St. Augustine area near
the ICW, I was part of an effort to "ban" airboats from the shallow
estuaries and marshlands in the immediate area because of their noise
and the physical damage they were doing. The owners of these boats were
not acting responsibly. Note I didn't say banned from the waterways.
So, penis boats are bad for you... What if all the homeowners on the
lake have them but you?
Then, what if you have a sailboat and the rest of the folks are
fishermen who hate sailboats moving in and around them while they were
fishing.
The lake we went to on the shoreline was a home to a skulling team. The
only accident we ever had on that lake was when they hit my wifes row
boat because they didn't think she was moving fast enough across the
lake.... I say skulls are the most annoying and dangerous, mostly
because of the assholes in them... So, who gets to decide again?
The operative word was "responsibly." If they understand the nuances of
that word, the operators of noisy boats wouldn't start their noise
pollution so early on a weekend morning, eh?
There have to be rules and regulations. Otherwise, you have the anarchy
of libertarianism.
