: This just shows that kayaking should be more regulated. We need

: have worn wetsuits. Because the government does not require
: licensing and training these poor women died. With more patrols
: the Coast Guard would have caught these unlicensed kayakers,
: given them citations for operating without a license,
: confiscated their kayaks, and made them sit overnight in jail to
: think about it. They would be alive today if we had more laws.

How about people being accountable for their own actions. Just what we need, more laws....idiot.
