  • live the dream...........wear it!!!
i recently  went  digging into  statistic  in  a effort to show  we only  agree  with  solid  statistics that  we  want....

last year in the  state of New York  we had  31 fatal boating accidents. of  which at least  25  drowned....  i propose  a new law  that  makes  wearing a  us coast guard approved pfd at all times when  ever you are in any  vessel in New York state waters ....... it would  save lives money  and show  how  safety conscious we really are  .......i know  everyone  will agree with this
you can destroy buildings  you can't  destroy the  american spirit

 And 1/3 of all boating accidents are alcohol related ,

Anyone who’s spent any time in a boat on the water has seen a lot of drunk boaters. Never seen a drunk hunter in the woods.
If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

I've heard a lot of stories about drunk hunters in the woods - I primarily bow hunt and I've never run across one but I've heard enough stories from friends to know they do exist and there are more than I want to think about.  Scary to think about ...

I want to wear life preservers in boats like I want to wear a seat belt in my car.

No doubt - but it should be my decision - not some governments.  me not wearing a seat belt doesn't save anyone else.
