1) I Probably Could Not Care Less [by Anonymous Citizen on June 20, 2008]What some Bozo riding a PWC does to himself.
I could not care more, though, what that same Bozo does to endanger me and my passengers while I am boating. Short of outlawing the dratted things altogether -- which would be the best solution -- at least the state should establish very strict control over who can operate a PWC, and when and where and how PWCs can be operated.
