Speaking of which, ya shoulda been down at the beach with BLAZER PROPHET and myself last week. There was a plethora of the passing "of" goin' on.
Like if you believe liver-lovers, you can live a lengthly life with limited legislation or licensing of little livers and the lives of those who love little livers licentiously.
Generally speaking, my mantra has been to screw it all and liver it up. Moderation in all things......including moderation, itself.
I fly RC Airplanes... and a few years ago the government was already trying to regulate. If you fly at any AMA airfield is *is* already regulated, but regulation won't stop idiots. You would think jamming rc frequencies would be a smarter route. The odds of him getting a RC jet off in a park, unless he has a very straight and level parking lot with no trees... is slim anyway. It just isn't that easy. Why wouldn't he just remote control a van? OMG... get rid of all vans!
Getting back on topic for this off topic thread, the goal of our government in regulating/preventing model airplane use by civilian citizens is the same as gun control. To disarm the populace and enslave them. Remote controlled miniatures are the future of populace control, and by future I mean from about 2004 and on. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world...d-yemen-says/2011/09/30/gIQAsoWO9K_story.html Our government already has RCM's that resemble birds and insects and has used them to spy on US citizens. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEJSE1JmQ9E http://articles.latimes.com/2011/feb/17/business/la-fi-hummingbird-drone-20110217
Now that the New World Order has turned what was once an enjoyable and educational hobby into the #1 threat to personal liberty, it could (and eventually will) be argued that said hobby now falls under the complete protection of The Second Amendment.
What about the New World Order that has terrorists - all over the world - conceiving every possible means to destroy human life? What about them, MARIS? Live and let die?
I saw nowhere where it was "#1 threat to personal liberty", nowhere where it said these would be illegal or even regulated. I did see, however, where agents have asked shop owners for cooperation. Damn them all to hell, right?
See, what we need to do is equip all these model planes with weapons and them let them dog fight the drones. It'll be the US military v. The US citizens.
A good friend of mine is a rocket enthusiast. He comes down here to Beautiful Central Oregon 4-5 times a year and his club launches home-made rockets out by Millican. He used to just do it, like most hobbies. Now DHS demands he jump through a myriad of hoops, tests, fees, licensing... and divulge extensive personal information, and he is now severely limited on how high or far his rockets may travel. DHS will put the same noose around model plane enthusiasts. I personally guarantee it. As for supposed terrorists flying model planes and rockets into targets in the US...if that ever happens they should certainly be prosecuted. Just as they would if they drive a carbomb through a gate to blow up a building. Or use a Zippo to start a fire in a public building. When bad people are found to be doing or planning bad things there is cause to investigate and take action. This has nothing at all to do with honest, law-abiding American Citizens or their hobbies. There is no legitimate, legal reason to be compiling these Citizens' names, in fact it is illegal for the government to do so.
More abuse of The Second Amendment (and state's rights) by Obama's gang: http://www.seattlepi.com/local/article/You-have-to-choose-Guns-or-pot-but-not-both-2195215.php
Ahhh, I see. So, you're a proponent of the proverbial hospital at the bottom of the hill..as opposed to a fence at the top of it. Oh, and I'm guessing racial profiling, or such, is high on your list, as well.
Passing around the football in your swimming suits, just like Wally and the Beav. You two All-Americans have admirably clean minds.
Good info, Maris. Keep us informed. The recreational culture is being militarized into the new Sparta.
