My point is I think we are witnessing a change.
Like it or not.
Times are changing.
Conventions are changing.
We are in a state of change.
20 or 30 years from now I expect things to be very different.

Change is a universal happening. It's constant. (Oxymoron of the day :-)
Change might very well be man's ultimate paradox, as man requires some
form of social structure to exist, but as change progresses onward, what
was socially acceptable yesterday might very well be today's chaos.
It's interesting to watch this happen.
Man seems destined not to be able to cope with the answer.
Rules...rules......rules......some can withstand the test of time while
others become obsolete even as they are written.
Sometimes even the origin of a "rule" or protocol is lost as time marches
on. Yet man will cling to some obscure "rule" long since in need of major
overhaul, trying desperately to maintain what worked yesterday, fighting
in some endless useless conflict with his fellow humans to convince them
that the "rule" MUST be followed.
Perhaps the answer lies in man finally coming to the conclusion that there
is a dichotomy that exists between man's need for social structure and the
simple truth that change exists and dealing with change is necessary.

Why dont you make up your own traffic patterns the next time you fly. You
