![]() "Jose" wrote in message ... Granted, the current rules are nonsense but that doesn't give these two nitwits the go ahead to fly into the restricted area. That's not how you fix stupid rules. That's how you get more stupid rules. Just idly thinking here after two glasses of wine, but what if =all= the spam cans in the country formed a line and flew directly over the white house at 2000 feet with no transponder code and no clearance, and kept doing it even as we were being shot down? What do you think the eventual effect of this would be? I love it: America hasn't had a decent civil disobedience protest for a while. The French population tried it on the Bastille in 1789. The US civil rights movement tried it many times during the 1950's and 60's. The students of Kent State tried it May 4, 1970. Americans killed 4 of them. From the outside looking in, I would expect the result to be similar to Kent State. A few Americans may die. The population may be outraged and recognize the futility of their government's policies, or it may nod its head sagely and say the pilots had it coming. It depends on whether they value "freedom and democracy", or prefer feudal dependance. Twenty or thirty years later everyone will wonder what all the fuss was about, because by then some other equally "important" disaster will have befallen.... and whether man-made or natural, physical or political or economic, it will come from a totally unexpected and unplanned-for source. |
