To me it sound like the big shots dont do much for the little guy. Why hasnt anyone come up with something better? Or is it the "old timers" are just set in their ways and nobody is will to fight to change things?
There are some of us old timers that do want change and are doing what we can to do that. Back in '79-82, when I was your District VI VP I worked for change along with the late Earl Witt one of the couple really good AMA Presidents. We didn't accomplish that much yet what we did certainly had long range results.
Now at age 67, I am trying again to get into a position to again work for change in AMA directions, as I also tried last year.
Unfortunately the *young and smart* don't want to hear of politics, but just play with their toys.
That makes those *Old-Timers* without vision the absolute monarchs of the "status-quo".
There is a large amount of information within this forum, however very difficult to decipher at a glance. If you want to learn, then give the various threads some serious study.
