Default New Silver Distance Rules?

Most of you fail to realize the purpose of the badging system. It is to
encourage pilots to fly cross country. It is poor form for a pilot to think
just
because he sets out to fly that he deserves a badge. The rules are set so
that there is standardization for pilots to compare skill level in the
community. The badging system with the OO's responsibilities also
encourage knowledge of the rules for this sport. If the badges were easy,
everybody would have their diamond badge. The system has worked for
years. I am saddened that any of the rules are modified unless it is for
the
purpose of safety. My 2 cents. D
