I know its 'not nice' or 'PC' but I don't care, its how I feel and I'm glad to see others feel the same way. So many laws and restrictions are placed on everyone due to the actions of brain dead morons and downright s-t-u-p-i-d (sorry for subverting the 'genius' filter but it fits here) people. I see it here in the US and in Canada.
A year or so ago I was visiting
Point Pleasant Park, a favorite walking park back home, and while passing a beach section I overheard a couple talking about a fenced off section. This section was a stone peninsula jetting out maybe 50-70 meters that formed a break from the open water for the beach. As a child I remember being able to walk out to sit on the rocks and the feeling of spray of salt water and air was great. Now however the entire section has an 8' chainlink fence erected because some moron decided to walk out in a storm and you know what happened. Then another moronic politician decided it needed to be fenced off.
The couple who I over heard were saying.. "why fence it off? They should simply let them all walk out, be washed away and be done with it. Then the rest of us could enjoy it again." I walked over and shook the guys hand saying I couldn't agree more.
