6. Idiots on Scooters. This is expanding exponentially, at roughly
the same rate at American's waist lines. The Korean War vet with no
legs deserves a scooter. The guy who hasn't seen his knees in 20
years should either walk or stay home.

Seems a tad harsh, if not downright insensitive. There are people with
serious heart conditions or other problems that keep them from walking
long distances. Who appointed you to decide who is worthy of a scooter
or not?

Airventure is an outdoor event, with a flight line that is 3 miles
long by 1 mile deep. Unless and until EAA comes up with dedicated
scooter/cart paths, the spread of these abominations will be a threat
to every able-bodied participant at Oshkosh.

My family spent the better part of every day dodging idiots learning
to drive these things, and it got old real fast. It was especially
fun when they would try to ram their way through crowded exhibition
halls. Nothing like having someone stuff their face in your armpit,
as they try to ride through the steaming masses.

(Just to be clear, I'm bitching about those stupid rental electric
tricycles, not the Honda scooters that many volunteers were riding.
The volunteers at least had the common sense to stay outdoors with
them.)
