I didn't mean low rent or low cost, just cheap. There are lots of those.

Doesn't the news folks do a good enough job of telling these individuals our weaknesses? Aren't there enough people already making enough suggestions? Dear Harry, I am saddened to read that you are deluded in believing that the federal government of the United States is actually concerned about protecting the people of the United States. Alas, the elected officials and bureaucrats are only concerned with spending the peoples money on useless, high publicity value, contracts that will get them political favors, campaign contributions and reelected by the majority, stupid, uninformed electorate. It's politics, not reality. Think about it... how many politicians, bureaucrats government employees went to jail for their failures to prevent 9-11 from happening when they were sitting on the information that would have prevented it? They didn't care about protecting the American people, their only concern was protecting their political turf and bureaucratic empires. |

It would be more accurate to say that the general public does not know what they would lose by shutting down GA. Agreed. If they shut down GA, most of the general public would have no idea why they have no jobs, why they can't get their mail, why their doctor or lawyer or CPA can no longer serve them, why their forests are burning down, why their seafood suddenly has become more valuable than gold in the few places it is still available, why children are suddenly dying of cancer, etc. The public would just blame it on bad handling of "the economy," whatever that is. Let's not forget crop dusters, aerial surveying, photography, pipeline patrolling etc.. So there goes the cheap, plentiful food from agriculture, more fires and less security. Less tourism to some of the more inaccessible locales. In addition, Alaska might as well be boarded up. |

1949 was the coolest year to be born! You hit 18 in 1967; the "Summer Of
Love". You not only got to enjoy a changing world, you got to help build it, too. Funny. I was 9 years old in '67, and the thing I remember most about those times was the unrelenting bad news on TV, radio, and in the newspapers. It was a terrifying time to be alive, unless you were stoned, I suppose. Whether it was inner city rioting, or body bags coming home from Viet Nam, those were certainly NOT the best of times. Ten years later now, well, heh, heh, THOSE were good times! Other than disco and polyester, of course... And high inflation. And Jimmy Carter. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Why UPS, DHL and FedEx will only deliver to areas close by the
major airports that can handle 737s & 757s. |
