And what is the percentage of countries where an average person can own
and fly an airplane as indicated by your extensive research?

I don't know of any countries in which this is possible. Aviation is
generally a rich man's hobby everywhere, where it is possible at all.

Your definition of "rich" must be strange indeed.

Does it by chance mean someone with a real job?

I know, and have known, a lot of airplane owners.

Other than one guy who owned a string of furniture stores, I wouldn't
call any of them anywhere near "rich" by any stretch of the imagination.

I'm an aircraft owner; think I'm "rich"?

I almost bought an airplane when I was a college student on the GI
bill and working part time (I still regret that I didn't).

Does a college student on the GI bill and working part time fit your
definition of "rich"?

No, I mean that the average person cannot own or fly anything.

Then you are an ignorant twit without a clue.

Either that or your definition of "average" is strange.

Show of hands; which would you concider average:

A. High school drop out flipping burgers.

B. High school graduate with an 8-5 job.

C. John Travolta.

WE elected? I think WE is too big a number. Trolls living under
bridges in France don't vote in US elections.

Trying to make witty jokes will not fix the problem.

Which problem? Your mental state?

I have a dremel tool. We could have a crack at it wiht that.

You will need carbide burrs, or extremely soft stones.

Who knows, maybe someday you will grow up to be average and find out how
wrong you are. But I doubt it.

I remember the pictures. The plane made it to the White House walls:

Startled uniformed Secret Service officers at the White House saw the
descending plane at 1:49 a.m. and ducked for
cover. The plane crashed onto the South Lawn of the White House, skidded,
slammed through the hedge and clipped the tree
before it hit a wall on the west side of the mansion.

Did I read some where that there are two 50 caliber stations on the roof top
of the White House, maned 24-7?

You know, in this day and age, everyone is above average...

It saddens me a bit that you are prepared to sacrifice your own
democracy in exchange for cheap shots at others.

You're a moron.
