I also remember AOPA's response that GA doesn't need 10,000ft runways either
but we use them. This whole 'aviating thing' started off with folks giving
rides from fields and now we have 7xx's and Airbus, etc. moving people
around.

The problem is with the (poor) allocation and waste of tax dollars. Don't
get me started on the liability nonsense of these lawsuits.
