(For those who haven't read "A Modest Proposal," please regard the
preceding paragraph as satire. An honest assessment would never be
sanctioned by Boyer's gang, as it would show that not only is GA
heavily
subsidized, but nonrecreational GA pays the bulk of AVgas taxes.
Recreational GA enjoys a free ride.)

AOPA, like every lobby group out there, has to fight tooth and nail
against
any proposal limiting its members. You can't let the camels nose under
the
tent. It's the old 'give them an inch' philosophy."

I think you are right on the money here. Seriously. The AOPA knows they
cannot budge on this. Thus their weird, disingenous arguments. They are
forced into taking absurd positions.

I do enjoy the AOPA kabuki show though. They should have a dora dora play
a musical accompaniment.
