Gary: Here's the link. Pretty much anything that that clown Boyer says
is
totally irrational, sometimes even (like this example) what a professor
used to call "internally contradictory." Yup, he said it, in AOPA
President's message.

No, that's not a link to the quote I was asking about.

AOPA posted this gem on accident statistics:

"Now put this into perspective with car crashes, household accidents,
medical mishaps, and the innumerable other risks of everyday life. We're
talking losses on a monthly basis that likely exceed aviation losses for
a
decade. The risk in aviation is negligible compared to some other common
activities when exposure is considered. On a per-mile or per-trip count
we
might not fare as well as we'd like, but most of us aren't aloft with
anywhere near the same frequency compared to traveling in automobiles."

AOPA's standards of journalism and objectivity are the model for all
media!!!

Huh? AOPA lobbyists don't purport to be journalists. Regardless, though,
the
argument put forth in that quote is indeed unfortunate; it's like saying
that Russian Roulette is an activity with negligible risk, since there are
very few participants and consequently very few fatalities.

But you fail to mention where this quote appears. Can you provide a link,
please?
