The 10th amendment says'

Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor

For the same reason that "murder" is a state crime, "speeding" should be
too.
The only federal crimes, according to the Constitution, are treason and
counterfeiting.
Some federal use the 14th amendment to expand federal powers in the aim
of
insuring HUMAN rights but manatee have no constitutional rights.

Hey, go for it: kill all the manatees, burn down all the trees, and bury
the spent nuclear rods in your back yard. After all, why should anything
interfere with your Constitutionally granted right to drive your boat at
any speed you like?


The manatee issue isn't about manatees.

Non-boating waterfront home
owners who have been harassed by jet skis and the straight pipe go
fast crowd, saw the speed limits as a good thing and joined in the
chorus.

The problem with that thought is this federal zone is nowhere near any
homeowner

That's not true. The entire coastline along the banks of the Caloosahatchee
has homes.

FACT: There would be 100% access by boat to shoreline property by property
owners and their guests but not by the general boating public.

That "fact" is bull****. They are still holding up dock permits in spite of an
order to start permitting again.

Greg,
Okay now I understand your statement. Thanks.

According to the folks at Mote Marine Labs 67 is about as cold as the
water can
be before manatee start becoming cold stressed.
Without FLP the manatee would have migrated south over a month ago.
Now they hang out in the middle of the Okeechobee waterway, the only
east-west
route across the peninsula of Florida. It is like putting a salt lick in
the
median of I-75 and wondering why all the deer keep getting hit.



Greg,
Why is he dying?

The water temperature is around 61-63 everywhere
else
and if there is a manatee there he is dying anyway.

Clams,
I like that free diver Manny. He goes down and tickles the alligator
under its mouth and the thing just sort of goes to sleep. Pretty much the
same as flipping over a shark and rubbing its belly. How in the heck did
they ever figure this out? How many hands and fingers were lost in the
process? Sort of makes me wonder how they ever came up with Long Island Ice
tea, I mean, who'd have thought that five different types of liquor would
end up tasting like ice tea? How many different things did they try first,
and how long was the hangover?

Well, then, you should hope you don't meet up with a hungry alligator.
Sadly, of course, man-eating alligators are shot.

Only a sissy shoots an aligator, You hook them and whack them in the
head.

odd, on the north fork of the st. lucie river, all the manatee zones are on the
blind curves,, concidence, or misuse of a manatee zone,, YOU DECIDE!
