I don't care if you guys kill yourselves, but there have been
several people on the ground killed already this year.

Do you have evidence that the danger a GA plane poses to people on the
ground is greater than the danger that an automobile poses to pedestrians
and bicyclists?

If not, it would be hypocritical of you to appeal to the danger to
nonparticipants as a reason to oppose GA, but not as a reason to oppose
automobiles.

Yes,.

News is it was a light aircraft. Look for NYC to ask for an ADIZ.

Lead article in today New York Times. Quote by Gov. Pataki: "New

nation's capital."

I was right. Again.

No, you were wrong. NYC is not asking for an ADIZ. Bloomberg said
emphatically that there's no security issue. Others may ask for an ADIZ, but
NYC is not doing so, contrary to your claim.

The feds understand that a NY ADIZ would be irrational. Bloomberg's stance
keeps the irrational step from being politically expedient. That combination
will likely keep it from happening.

Should not have made reference to mayors, but politics, pointing again
to inadequacy of FARs (many articles about how close, legally, you can
fly to a building), and safety of GA flight, including lack of
security.

Reference to mayor asking for ADIZ was wrong. Should have said
policiticians.

You are right in the sense that your views are in agreement
with so many other leftist/socialists whose philosophy is
that the solution to each and every problem in life is simply
ever more restrictions and regulation.

You would should move to North Korea, I'm sure they have a LOT
less aircraft accidents than America does.

Live free, or die. Libertarian. Do as you wish, but when you do harm
to others (pollution/safety), govt. must get involved.

Uh, as opposed to right-wingers, who seldom try to unduly restrict people?

You sir are the looser.. When did you drop out of flight school ? Was it the
first time you practiced a stall and ****ed your pants ? Or were you just
not able to cut the knowledge requirements of becoming a pilot ?

Anyway just because you failed or never even tried don't be a hater.. I am
sure there are a thousand things you can't do or can't do well, do you go
and cry on those newsgroups ?

P.S. I know you are a simple little troll and I have just given you what
you really want (attention) but it was fun to practice my typing skills.

The eye exam by the DME was inadequate. It was a loose exam.

Yeah, whatever. This stuff is inevitable. As I have said. Deal with

Its also inevitable that a 16 year old kid with a new car will go out and wreck it.

Good point. Legislative discussions now going on in several states
about restricting driving priveleges for younger drivers (e.g.
Massachusetts). GA is doing opposite, loosening training requirements
(e.g. LSA).

Article on AvWeb pointed out pilot saying what many already know: no
FAA enforcement. "No harm, no foul" was how he put it.

Correct.

I am not in favor with anyone who suggests ever more government
restrictions, no matter what sort of 'winger' they are. In this
day and age, there isn't thimble full of difference between either
political party IMHO.

Historically, however, (as most reasonable people would stipualate)
it has been the left that has made a career out of expanding
government into ever more creative nooks and crannies of life.
They have always been very proud of that fact and thus the mantra
became the colloqual description. People tend to use it in connection
with such philosophy in the same way they use Hoover when talking
about vacuum cleaners.
