PWC vs. PTV's 

'The continued noise, the continued HARASSMENT on the lake is very aggravating'? [referring to quote by Harry Goetzmann in Neighbors West article 2/27/03]

An unnecessary life style is harassing
my spirit also.

  ONE EXAMPLE: Lets compare.

$$ THEM - THEM - THEM - THEM - THEM- THEM - THEM – THEM - ????
January: unlimited daily use of inefficient SUV's, 4, 6 and v8 gasoline engines
February: ditto March: ditto
April: ditto….May ditto…..June ditto……..July ditto ……
August: ditto
September: ditto
October: ditto
November: ditto
December: ditto---- add these 12 months together………………..

EQUALS: Everyday and every night use of status seeking, inefficient Personal Transportation Vehicles (PTV's) to drive to the donut shop and to the airport equals incomprehensible and unnecessary political, social, health, environmental, psychological, militaristic, global, family and spiritual problems. Here is where you should be concerned about your child's safety. Honestly, stop trying to be so sexual and start being more intellectual.

The continued superficiality, the continued finger pointing from the human hand is so telling. So set a moral example when you drop your 4 kids and 16 grandkids off at school, drive up in a vehicle that gets 40 mpg instead of 40 pounds of attainment.
** ME - ME - ME – ME – ME – ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! January – no PWC's.
February- no PWC's. March - ditto. April – ditto. May - ditto. June – close to ditto.
July – some personal watercrafts on warn, non-rainy weekends August – weekend watercrafts mostly if weather and water is right.
September – one weekend of PWC's. ( Labor Day )
October – no personal watercrafts
November – ditto
December – ditto again: so add these months together and does it spell "harassment"?

PWC's create less worldly harm than the PTV's.

Recreational activities should be less regulated than everyday social routines. So, please sign my petition to make lawn mowers illegal on the weekends 'cause I'm sick of being harassed by the continued noise from my loser neighbors to the left and to the right (politically speaking.  Rent my video.

May God's hands protect your PTV as it plows into my very little car and kills my wife and me and my two kids as your son's and daughter's drive drunk with their proud friends after the stimulating football game. Thank you for sending me to God first so I can tell her about your great contributions and sacrifices here in Skaneateles. 

The end.
