Ah, the tyranny of the majority. It'll take real statesmen to save us
from that.


Why do you think it's so easy to get a driver's license? No politician
wants to tell grandma that she can't have a driver's license anymore.



I don't think you are, but let us all remember to not confuse a drivers
*license* with a pilots *certificate*. The roads are owned (generally) by
government - the skies are not. I don't want to see politicians think of
airspace in the same way they think of road and rail travel. *shudder*


Depends on how you define ownership I guess, but I think the government
"owns" the skies by any reasonable definition.
