Ban 4by's? Cool Heads & Showers Needed

This whole debate about banning 4WD's is not going to go away anytime soon. Every incident involving a 4b is going to set off another round.

We cannot be seen to be the hot headed rednecks some in the community are trying to label us as. We need to respond rationally with well reasoned arguements. Cool heads and cold showers are required.

The arguements coming from the anti 4b camp are often irrational and incorrect but they are appealing to the uneducated or unaffected majority. We must not marginalise ourselves or we will find accelerated track closures, increased restrictions to uban use and higher cost of ownership.

We must participate in the debate. But we must do so in a manner that furthers our cause not hurts it.

This is simply an appeal to be careful and considered in what we say, how we say it and who we say it to. Beacuse like it or not we speak for each other even when we claim to be speaking for ourselves alone.
