OK, who besides me wants to run and yell Cowabunga! as I launch my body into it?

Why do I have the sudden urge to find that lake and pee in it?

What a load of sh*t.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

They probably cannot live in such a sterile lake Alan!  LOL!

I believe the lake has been "managing" itself appropriately without the help of these lunatics.  What hubris.

As long as proper management means "keep people away".
