I have a problem with your analogy.
If, when you ironed one of your new nylon shirts, you did burn it, and SOMEHOW THAT KILLED YOU (and 30 other people), would people still buy them? Would the govt have allowed their sale (or in this case, forced only the sale of nylon shirts)?
There is a difference to being uncomfortable (with a shirt or a process), to being dead (or partly responsible for unnecessary deaths).
At the end of the day this is a GOVERNMENT policy decision on behalf of the people
Really? I thought it was a decision by Dick, forced upon a hamstrung politician using rather nefarious methods.

And comrade Ferris, I hope I've laid my cards on the table face up enough for you to see where my politics re user pays sit.
So why aren't you railing against the charging (or defacto-tax collection) system, instead of the airspace? Still haven't got a straight answer there.
