Christine, I could list a slew of activities which harm people and the environment. Does that mean they should ALL be banned!
1. Lawn Mowers. (noisy eat gas, who needs grass anyway.)
2. Deisel engines. (Too noisy)
3. Planes. (jet fuel, oh so horrible, and people crash in those personal ones all the time.)
4. Cars. (oh wouldn't you and AL Gore love to ban these, ban Sunday drives)
5. Water skiing, what a waste, running around throwing gas everywhere, for what?)
6. Boating. (Riding around in a boat, just to wave at a bunch of friends, what a waste of fuel)
7. Fishing.
8. Snow sledding
9. Helicopter rides. (flying around just to see the area, C'mon just look at a T.V.)
10. Parachute skiing. (riding around in a boat, so that you can hop up in the air a hundred feet, how silly huh?)
What do these activities have in common Christine? Most are done for pure FUN! Something a Greenpeace activist hasn't a clue about.
The fact that a few people get injured on a personal watercraft, does not justify banning them. The person wanting to ban a freedom, should provide JUST evidence that the activity harms the environment or other people in an onerous way. If personal watercrafts meet that criteria, than so do a WHOLE lot of other activities. The only reason the "radical liberal left" have gone after personal watercraft in the San Juan Islands, is because a few extremely wealthy liberals don't want to hear them from their million dollar mansions on the water.
Poor babies.
The same ones who take the SUPER loud gas guzzling ferries to and from Seattle everyday! Total hypocrites!
The hypocrisy from the far left, and their ability to rationalize it never ceases to amaze me.
Banning personal watercraft from the San Juan Islands is just another example from a long, long list.
