A cold shiver of anticipated attack runs down my spine.
To start with Bill doesn't represent AOPA's views. Those are represented when someone claims to represent an AOPA view (which Bill didn't and I don't here).
I think Bill is still entitled to an opinion. I don't fully support it, but that is probably due to some niaive wording rather than evil intent.
All I read Bill as saying is that the AUF is doing well and GA isn't, yet.........
Why isn't it?
1. P!ss poor regulation.
2. Restrictive costs in a country of very high taxation (this is the 'we have already paid for the infrastructure' argument.)
3. Short sighted government of both persuasions.
4. Industry backbiting.
Bill H isn't on that list.
Now why Bill H's comments have been taken so seriously I don't know. How about we all (me included) give the guy a break.
Instead of this, "he's to blame. no ... he is, no ... she is" bullsh!t how about we all spend the time we waste on backstabbing letting our local member know that our vote depends on his/her support for GA.
Please
