to be exposed for the fraud he and his Reason Foundation are.

It might be tasteless of me to make the comment but I can't help but think that
the campaign to impugn general aviation in the press just got superceded by
yesterday's tragic events in Blacksburg. I further would be willing to bet that
it will be difficult for them to get this particular train back on the track. I
can't say I was sorry (about the campaign; not Blacksburg).

I was greeted with a front page headline yesterday in the Charlotte Observer
whining about how general aviation leeches off airline passengers. Now, rather
than respond to it in the editorial pages, I think I'll just let it die a
natural death.
