Why wouldn't people think that's okay when they see an ad like the one that was just at the bottom of the page I opened on THIS BB with the link below.

Monkey see, monkey do, monkey die.
And "Kayakers" get some free publicity.
I don't mean to be harsh, but you're never going to reach the people that do dumb stuff.
It's a tragedy, but they don't have a clue.
I met a neighbor at a local pond the other day, who knows I build kayaks and canoes, and he proceeded to tell me how he got caught
in rough water 7 miles out to sea in his poke boat. He acted real proud he was able to get back to shore. Then he told me he was really scared the day
he miscalculated and was out, lost, on the ocean after dark, no lights, no map, no compass.
I don't think he would have liked to know what I thought of him. I bit my lip.
