"and if it fails, nobody will be negatively affected."

You left out this part:

"Well, nobody who MATTERS, that is. Sure, people who enjoy getting out on the lake and not getting beat to death will stil be relegated to enjoying the lake from their docks, but they don't rent wet slips from me or have gas tanks that hold hundreds of gallons, so they don't matter. And people who are tired of seeing their floating docks battered, and thier boats battered too, will be negatively affected, but they don't matter, either. And people who are tired of watching the shoreline erode, who are tired of spending money on seawalls and seawall repairs, and who are tired of seeing the shoreline creep closer and closer to septic tanks will be negatively affected, but they don't matter, either.

But people who rent my wet slips, who buy gas by the hundred-gallon, and who buy large boats from me (see tham at our website, http://www.anchorbay.com/used_boats.htm; be sure to scroll!) will be happy, and they are the only people who matter; the rest of you can... well, you can complete the sentence yourself."
