My question to tcope is....
Why do you feel people are so stupid and inherently dangerous that we ALL need a large, powerful all encompassing government to direct our every move? Stupid, irresponsible people need to be dealt with. Granted. But that doesn't mean we ALL need a government nanny.
We "should" be able to operate our Phantoms (for PAY) at less than 400 feet anywhere we can do so without endangering others or have explicit permission to do so from the property owner or event organizer. If something happens then the court system is waiting.
Did you know that 10 year olds have been written citations for selling lemonade on their front lawns?
Is this really what our nation should be about?
What tcope and many fail to realize is that all of this "control" they are so willingly handing over to "government" is actually being handed to the elitist.
Mega money controls every government worldwide. Even in the USA, We The People are actually just We The Sheeple and have very little say in our lives...even though we are allowed the illusion that we do. We don't even "elect" our Presidents. The Electoral college" does supposedly based on what we want. As long as we choose from who they want us to choose from.
We have been giving up freedom for so long now we can't remember what it is.
"A nation dependent on it's government to dictate the daily lives of it's people is a nation in decline and distancing itself from personal liberty"
