"Larry Dighera" wrote in message
And his TFRs, in excess of 3,000 square miles in area, epitomize his transparently audacious lack of respect for the fundamental freedoms and rights of the nation's founding fathers' legacy. Show me the decision he made declaring a single TFR and you'll have the beginning of a case. Larry, I'm all for putting the TFR's back to the way they were pre-9/11. I really am. But the President is not personally responsible for all the ills of the nation much less this one which affects a mere 0.2% of the nation's population - even if all certificated pilots were in the area of a given TFR. You're fighting the right battle. It's just that you're fighting the wrong opponent. The problem isn't the President because I *guarantee* the same TFR's would and will be implemented regardless of the person or party holding the office. The problem is with the bureaucrats below. The President will not and should not concern himself with TFR's any more than he would or should be concerned with the closing of roads for his motorcade. If Congress were to get in the act and demand freedom of the airspace, we *might* be able to start the ball rolling. I'm not optimistic based on the "justification" required of the FAA for the DC ADIZ, though. -- John T http://tknowlogy.com/TknoFlyer http://www.pocketgear.com/products_s...veloperid=4415 ____________________ |

So you're saying that now it's okay for Prohibited Areas to be established wherever baby Bush frequents? A TFR is one thing, but permanent Prohibited Areas are quite another. Again, it's not the current President at issue. I propose P-40 as a prime example of CJ's point. -- John T http://tknowlogy.com/TknoFlyer http://www.pocketgear.com/products_s...veloperid=4415 ____________________ |

If Harry Truman could say "I'll tell you something else: that Richard Nixon is a
lying sonofabitch" what have you got to complain about? Free speech can be offensive without being either indecent or obscene. If you can't handle that concept, then *you* have something to get over. Dave Reinhart C J Campbell wrote: "Larry Dighera" wrote in message ... To what is it specifically, that you object? Referring to the President of the United States as "Baby Bush" is extremely offensive to many people. There is no reason to do it. Introducing such derogatory terms has nothing to do with the purpose of the news group. It is even more offensive for you to think that everybody is so stupid as to not see what you are doing. |

I'm not sure about that. I live in Massachusetts and I seem to remember that
Maine P area being around for a long time. Anybody got some really old sectionals around?

I wonder what you and Larry and the other crybabies will say when Kerry gets his TFR? There's a prohibited area Kennebunkport, Maine (P-67) - 1000' high, 2nm diameter, expanded by TFR every time George W. comes and visits his family. Is that prohibited area there because of George Bush Sr. or Jr.? If we're not doing it for all ex-Presidents, why is this one any more special than others? I wasn't flying when it was set up so I honestly don't know the answer. It is there because the current President is there frequently, just as there is a TFR around his home in Crawford even when he isn't there. |

um... does that make me a liberal? Well, I dunno. I've never met a life-long Republican before. Many (most?) of us started out all starry-eyed, believing that everyone was equal, and that the only reason some folks were paid more than others was because of some amorphous "evil" in the world that held back "the people." "From each, according to his abilities, to each, according to his needs" wasn't just a Communist slogan -- many of us really believed it, and hoped to make it a reality. Those of us who obtained a liberal arts degree in college were REALLY fed this line, and most of us swallowed it, hook, line and sinker. It usually seems to take some true, harsh life experiences before one realizes what a crock of sh*t all that really is. What's that old saying? "A Conservative is a Liberal who has been mugged." -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
