Is Maryland Delegate Darryl Kelley also a "nut case?" MD
House Bill 894 seeks to create a task force to study general
aviation issues, including, environmental issues, including
any problems with low-flying aircraft, safety and land-use
compatibility questions, security issues, flight school
monitoring, and recording airport operations.


Of course, the AOPA is "opposing" this.

AOPA is also "opposing" the Missouri budget, the ADIZ over
Washington, TFRs over the Texas/NM border, upcoming enactment
of national user fees, flight restrictions near a military base,
etc.

"AOPA -- The Opposer." LOL. I liked it better when they used
the term "take on."


One of the things that is killing us is our perceived arrogance by the
public. When we attack the messenger, instead of the message, by calling
them "nut cases", "noise nazis", and other derogatory terms we make
ourselves look like fools, and make them look better. Simply because some
individuals do not agree with our position does not make them "nut cases".
If we concentrate on countering their arguments instead of insults we might
have better success. Of course, if the facts turn out to be in their favor
then maybe insults are the only tool we have.
