I don't seen anything wrong with the AMA, AMA clubs, or with the members that fly at those clubs. I do see a middle class that has been contracting for decades. And I see an expensive hobby. I also see many alternative forms of entertainment like XBOX, PlayStation, Computors with Flight Sims and FaceBook, YouTube, etc.. I see televisions with 400 channels. And all of those things can be shared with the entire family. Whereas this hobby is basically a Dad's selfish interest. Admit it, this hobby cost a lot of money. The money and time required for this hobby is available to a shrinking portion of the population. And in that subset, the selfishness of the expenditure is increasingly viewed unfavorably. Consider yourselves the lucky ones. Enough with the diatribes. Go forth and enjoy what you have.
