Protect your freedom to fly by commenting on the ADIZ today. On Wednesday
one AOPA member put up this challenge to his fellow pilots: "Let's

5,000 responses to this permanent-ADIZ proposal so far. C'mon folks...get
the word out to all your pilot friends!"
---------

Only 5000 responses!!?? AOPA needs you to comment at least!!!! It will only
take 10 minutes of your time. If you have the time to look at this
newsgroup, then you SURE have time to respond. Get your hand out of your
pant and take action. PROTECT YOUR FREEDOM OF FLYING by clicking on link to

You do understand that by Federal law, this is not a plebiscite. When
proposing a rule, an agency is only required to consider new or
different ideas that they may have overlooked. One idea suggested a
gazillion times is still but one idea.

Technically true; but administrative government and politics are
inseparable, even though the bureaucracy loves to pretend that it is not so.
In politics, numbers matter. Bureaucrats work for politicians, politicians work
for us (or at least depend on us for votes).

I went to the AOPA site and tried for forty minutes to follow the
directions and finally gave up. I did find a place where I could
make a response to AOPA about how they made the method of
response so difficult and complex that were it flight instruction,
no one would ever learn to fly.

I agree. I think I figured out how to leave a message about the ADIZ on the
http://dms.dot.gov/submit/ site. My last comment I left was asking if anyone
actually reads all of these messages.

Or are they just going for a number of messages?

Don't recall offhand if it was K Marx or V Lennin who, when asked why the
Soviet Military had tens of thousands of obsolete weapons in storage,
remarked:

"Because quantity has a quality of it's own..."

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.

Stalin said that in WWII. Karl Marx was dead long before there was a
Soviet Union.

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.
