where else can a man hop in his own airplane, load it up
with car gas, and take his family for a 9 day flight around the Great
Lakes, without ever once being required to fill out paperwork or bribe
some petty government official?


Where else in the world can a pilot be shot down for flying within a
38 mile radius of his nation's capital?

And how many pilots have been shot down so far?

How many pilots have been forced to lay face down on the ground and
submit to law enforcement's manacles solely as a result of flying
within 38 miles of our nation's capital?

Why limit it to Washington DC?
Go back and read the story of mistaken identity for the unfortunate
individuals who happened to land at the wrong airport in Florida, had
their airplane flipped by rotor wash from a Customs Blackhawk, were
pulled injured from the damaged aircraft, hogtied with guns and
screaming Customs and DEA agents in their face, and left in said
condition abruptly when one of the helicopter crew yelled that they had
the wrong plane, that the one they wanted was still airborne and the
Citation with the FLIR was still tracking, the agents reboarded the
Blackhawk and off they flew.

I hope those who were abused by the misguided LEOs were justly
compensated, and those who committed such a repugnant act were
appropriately punished.


So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing
we have to fear is fear itself... [and a tyrannical president

I hope those who were abused by the misguided LEOs were justly
compensated, and those who committed such a repugnant act were

Is there an easy way to find out?

Perhaps the person who posted the account of that story may be able to
provide a link to the news story. That would give us a starting place
to research.

Beats me, but that wasn't the claim.

But that's what's occurring as a result of the overreacting by the
government and the fear of our fellow Americans.

Happy Fourth indeed. :-(

If Larry writes back:

"Right. The truly superior don't need to act superior; their superiority is
tacitly apparent. It is those who feel inferior who need to constantly
assert their pseudo superiority."

"If it's not too presumptuous, I would suspect that intelligence matching or
exceeding yours, the ability to command an income adequate to support a
family, and the desire for children might also be veiled longings buried
beneath the conscious."
