4th of July thoughts (for those residing in the US)
Mark Twain Said:
No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while
the congress is in session.
Ben Franklin said:
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little
temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Someone else (can't remember who) Said:
Democracy is where the people get the Government they
truly deserve.
49 USC Subtitle VII Sec. 40103 (that which gives FAA authority)
Says:
§ 40103. Sovereignty and use of airspace
(a) SOVEREIGNTY AND PUBLIC RIGHT OF TRANSIT.—
(1) The United States Government has exclusive sovereignty
of airspace of the United States.
(2) A citizen of the United States has a public right of transit
through the navigable airspace.
Happy 4th! Please remember that its not a privilege, its a right,
and that no one has more rights than you. Here's hoping we
can keep it that way.
Bart
