Long story, I'll try and make it brief....years ago, a group of friends and I wanted to start a sailboat-only marina at a local lake close to Nashville. We approached the mayor and presented our plan, complete with private financing, etc. He looked over the plans and seemed to like the idea...we explained that the public would be allowed access to the facilities, thinking that would be the icing on the cake. The mayor replied, "Why do you want to allow the public? They'll only f__k it up....". :)
