Come on Guys! Take this Challenge!
Maybe. The bureaucrats have become so timid after 9/11, though, that I
doubt they'll take even the slightest risk, real or perceived, WRT protecting Washington against an attack. That's funny -- I was just thinking how the danged bureaucrats had become so *bold* since 9/11. It's the populace that has become timid, in the face of the bloody bureaucrats, in virtually all aspects of public life. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

That's funny -- I was just thinking how the danged bureaucrats had become
so *bold* since 9/11. While you seem to be a very good person, unfortunately it's individuals like you, with your blind 'yes I will follow' attitude who can so easily be led down a path that are the greatest threat to our country. Remember that it's 'government by and FOR the people',,, not the other way around. I can only say one thing in response to your comment. Historically, there have been governments that have used fear to take an otherwise intelligent populace into regimes of more restriction and strengthening of an authoritarian, centralist government. One only need to look at the history of the last 100 years to find numerous examples. Anyone who would turn their eye to such examples is either a fool of the most tragic sort or if it be ignorance of the latter; the effects are just as tragic. Anyone who truly loves this country (and not just 'say the words') and all that it stands for looks at some of the provisions of the "Patriot" Act, for example and rightfully shudders with fear and revulsion.

Stalin said that in WWII. Karl Marx was dead long before there was a Soviet Union. Thanks for the correction. I think that if the powers that be see a significant volume of comments opposing the proposed rule, they're gonna probably (I hope) notice. Maybe.

You know, Denny,,,, I wonder about that. I've heard 'jokes' (don't know if
they are true grin) that politicians will weigh the mailbags on various issues and devote attention to the one with the most letters/weight..... LOL!!!! -- -- =----- Good Flights! Cecil E.

One need only look at the outcome of other recent FAA NPRM, in which thousands of "against" comments were provided without changing the direction of the rule-making, to udnerstand that commenting on this NPRM isn't going to have an effect either. Face it: at this point in the game, with the NPRM already written and published, the rule is as good as made. Whichever FAA bureaucrats put this whole thing together, there's no way they're going to admit it's a mistake. Frankly, if anything, restricted airspace gives those FAA bureaucrats a reason for being. It's the same reason ALL of our supposed "security improvements" have been made: for some bizarre reason, the general public is trusting those who get paid to create security to tell us how much security we need.
