Utah River Access Legislation

What do I think about Colorado's river access laws…an example of pure bureaucratic fallacy marked by political cowardice and irrationality. We have all heard the terrifying stories of those Napoleonic, mentally insufficient farmers of Colorado pulling guns and pistol whipping helpless boaters on the river; those psychos hold their precious river bottom quite dear. I think it’s mostly a power trip, resulting from birth with small genitalia, maybe, but regardless, it is unfortunately their right. Utah, up until this past Tuesday, maintained similar policies for their waterways; however, on that epic Tuesday, the Utah Supreme Court finally made strides in amending and clarifying the much debated state river access laws. And I quote: "We hold that the scope of the easement provides the public the right to float, hunt, fish, and participate in all lawful activities that utilize the water. We further hold that the public has the right to touch privately owned beds of state waters in ways incidental to all recreational rights provided for in the easement, so long as they do so reasonably and cause no unnecessary injury to the landowner." What they are basically saying here is that while accessing a river via a public right of way, you can now wade, walk, fish, or boat while having the entire river, and its bottom, fully at your disposal. Now, let’s all sit back, put a rest to the polygamy pot-shots, and bask in the glory that is Utah. Cheers.  --Kevney
