I dont imply that the American people are too stupid to take care of
themselves, I say it with conviction. Not all, just most. A sad but true
fact.

In American politics it doesn't get any better than that.
The above is a sad statement on America isn't it?
"Dr. B." Do you work for the FAA/Government?
It sounds to me like you do, you imply that the American people are to
"stupid" to take care of them selves and need the government to "take care
of them" or better yet it takes a villege- When "political correctness
dies" and the truth means more than a sound bite, or a contribution...
maybe... "In American politics it doesn't get any better than that."
The FAA like the IRS is there to help, assist and advise...All there
work is like progress, not all bad...not all good. We are stuck with it
eather way.

Read the FAA creed PR is there.

it weren't for GA they'd be a backwater bureau in a do-nothing Agency.
Changes in the performance envelopes and configurations of
commercial aircraft, and consequent changes in the aviation infrastructure
of airports and electronic nav gadgets proceed glacially, requiring urgent
review about every ten years and certainly does NOT require constant
oversight by thousands of busy bureaucratic minions.
However, we do. GA is so varied, so ebullient, so volatile, that we
need an FAA to keep everything in line. Consider the alternative, that
non-pilots would dictate regulations, or that people like we on this forum
would self-police, and that ought REALLY to scare you.
Let's hear it for our FAA, the only public relations firm par
excellence, with teeth. At least they listen to us. Well, ok, they listen to
our muscle - AOPA, EAA.
In American politics it doesn't get any better than that.

Here's a quote from the Fly-UL forum. Bill Watson wrote (tongue in
cheek):
I have found that most if not all FAA actions can be best described
as the
FAA is a Public Relations firm for flying in the US. If anybody
causes bad
PR, they will read their rules absurdely to bust you. If you do not
cause
bad PR (police reports, civillian complaints, etc) they will happily
let you
go about your business. If you cause good PR, you can be given get
out of
jail free cards. It is all about the PR.
I'm wondering if maybe Bill hit the nail on the head.
