Christine, some people may be wondering why I am continuing to discuss Personal Watercraft with you. But I feel this small issue highlights a very important point regarding how "radical environmental extremists Greenpeace" religios followers come to conclusions which are so completely divorced from reality and "common sense".

Here is your exact words. "The injury and DEATH rate are stupendous."

Now, please Christine, read those words carefully.

Then click back one response interval and read the article you cite as the reason for your belief's.

Death, was not even mentioned as a statistic! Now I find it hard to believe that noone has died from an accident with a personal watercraft, but if you believe those statistics, "personal watercraft" are one of the safest activities in America!

I bet some people die in bathtubs every year, and I bet a lot of kids are injured riding bicycles! And oh my GOD! lacerations, contucians and fractures! How horrible!! :-)

I showed you an article, (which you apparently never read) which demonstrated how personal watercraft have saved a few lives! I realize it's difficult for you to compare a laceration or fracture with saving someones life, but most non-religios followers of the Greenpeace movement can Christine.

As far as your other statement goes...You have still not explained why your right to exploit and disturb and destroy nature overrides mine to enjoy it in a relatively peaceful manner. It sounds like you think you have a lot more rights than I do

Dear Christine, you have a right to not hear an activity above a certain decibal level. You do not have a right to silence! I may not like your Wicca chants at the full moon, but I do not have a right to ban them if I can hear them. :-)

No doubt about it, this is definitely your weakest argument to date Christine. Build private lakes and force people to use "personal watercraft in them?? Jeez! Really pathetic environmental extremism there Christine!

Even the other lefties on this thread aren't willing to defend you on this one. :-)

Michael
