I have to disagree that most pilot/ aircraft owners qualify as rich.
Flying has more to do with priorities that the amount of money you
make. My observation is that most pilot aircraft owners are more
middle class people that have opted to drive a 20 year old car and
own an airplane rather than buying a new car every 5 years.


Fanatics, in other words. Does the fact that some people are
fanatical enough to sacrifice mundane comforts just to fly mean that
flying is accessible to the average Joe? No, because the average Joe
is not a fanatic.

Many poor people in the Third World could afford a TV set if they
spent nothing on anything else. Should we say, then, that the absence
of TV sets among the poor of the Third World is just a matter of
inappropriate priorities among the poor, and that TV is not accessible
only to the rich in developed countries?


You are an idiot. I've lived in third world countries and, actually, TVs
are commonplace amongst even the poor.

Favorite rpgram while I was there? Love Boat reruns and M,arlboro ads.



So, wrong again, fjukktard terrorist wannabe.
