That aircraft in the pattern have the right of way. You know, the part
you
snipped.


AC 90-66A does not indicate that aircraft in the pattern have the
right-of-way over aircraft on final.


It does indeed, you just don't happen to like it.





IFR fixes provide zero informaiton to a VFR pilot.


Is bad information better than no information?



Only because you wish to ignore the FAA recommendations in AC 90-66.
Aircraft entering on a straight in approach should not disrupt traffic in
the pattern.


I'll ignore all recommendations that are discourteous , reduce safety, and
are inconsistent with the FARs. Everybody should.


They are none of the above, and nobody should. If you think you are above
following the recommended procedures of the FAA, you are simply unsafe. But
go ahead, as we can be certain you will. Someday, you or some other IR
cowboy like you, will kill someone, and perhaps the FAA with firm things up
a bit.
