"The Gas Chamber." Wow! That would definitely eliminate someone's
freedom. "Contempt and loathing..." Is that anything like "Fear and Loathing?" Not everyone is a suspected criminal: just GA pilots. |

Skylune wrote: Here is the solution: http://ismydrivingsafe.com/rs/Driver...%20Program.htm Solution to what, lack of employment opportunities for police officers? What you're proposing is a police state. Perhaps instead of the gas chamber you'd put every one of us in an infant's crib where smarter, better people protect us from all the Bad Things that can hurt Baby. If people like you managed to ban GA completely you'd just find something new to go after. Motorcycles, personal watercraft, cigarettes, red meat, cell phones, pornography, there's a whole world of personal freedoms out there just waiting to **** you off. -cwk. |

The author's main point was that a moron like JFK Jr. can fly legally (LEGALLY, that is the point!) with VFR at night in hazy conditions, unsupervised. This is a fact. He was not a moron, but rather a Kennedy, and Kennedys are people who must succeed. He was well aware he lacked the skills for this, but pressed on as Kennedys must. Read the NTSB carefully, and see the lack of self-confidence, like how he had an instructor with him on almost all his cross-country trips, on even nice days, and despite having over 300 hours. Does any pilot here know somebody who does this? Imagine also how none of his instructors may have had the courage to tell him, or Uncle Ted, he's a failure at this. FAA thus need not tighten the rules because of such an extraordinary case. Fred F. |

Here is the solution: http://ismydrivingsafe.com/rs/Driver...%20Program.htm I went to this site and now I think I understand your position vis-a-vis GA. The website is a prescription for a citizen surveillance program that would have found acceptance in East Germany or communist China. Anyone who would advocate such a sytem must have a deep seated fear of personal liberty. If GA (and personal liberty) really bothers you all that much, there are many more restrictive regimes on the planet in which to live. I suspect that killing off GA would not satisfy a person who advocates the driving surveillance program, as there are many other ways Americans exercise their personal freedoms that would remain. Short of some sort of fascist takeover, you can't strip all the liberties away that bother you--it would be easier just to move to an authoritarian country. |

Start with the Kennedys... LOL for real! I'm a Bostonian and luckily I'd already finished my sip of beer when I read that, or I'd be wiping down my monitor. You don't need drug tests for Massholes, we're mostly just drunks. It's those hippies in Vermont you've got to worry about. |
