G'day Manwell,

I dislike landing fees, rego fees, fines etc as much as the next person. Some are simply indefensible (see the Avalon GPS approach thread), others are simply a matter of paying for a service or facility.

Your analogy of "restricting other's enjoyment of wealth" escapes me totally. but:
I'm not really talking to you individually Islander. This is a plea to all who think that by ensuring we all get screwed equally we will achieve some sense of justice. We will only get justice when no-one get's screwed, neither the highest nor the lowest member of our society.
Now that really has me intrigued. How can anyone logically suggest that because a group and I might add the only group, to be using a facility is being screwed by contributing to it's maintenance and upkeep.
