The more I think about how the world works the more I realize how
pointless these "who came first" arguments are. The only thing that
matters is who votes for the commissioners, who contributes money to
their campaigns, and who shows up and actually makes their voices
heard at the meetings. Unfortunately at this point in time general
aviation is on the decline, so more and more of these little battles
are going to be lost simply because there aren't enough pilots or GA
advocates out there to be heard.
