Thank you Abe, I do agree that shooting the messenger is not a good thing.

However my target is a potential elected official that can not stand on his own and has to refer to the "Polls" in order to come out with a popular opinion. I have no problem with one that will change his course after he states his initial objective, yet can finally accept that objective will not be for the most good. (Most GOOD, NOT most POPULAR).

Now to the others in the thread:
My statements were directed to JB because he cannot provide one original thought to better the present. JB has coat-tailed on other stated objectives after he saw some popular opinion for those objectives. In the subject thread he throws out a troll without any question and/or his own thoughts.

Throwing out something to gain the popular opinion before stating one's own, simply says to me that one doesn't understand and/or know much about the subject so one can say what the responders want to hear, get elected, then do whatever provides the least resistance.

JB, on this very forum, started a thread titled, "Apology to Horrace Cain" yet it only called me a LIAR. Once JB found himself to be that which he accused me of, he edited the article, yet he NEVER APOLOGIZED or even directed attention to his mistake. Yet, JB says that I am the one without morals. You can trust whomever you wish.

Call me incompetent, insensitive, full-of-s_it, a whatever of your choice, but when you say I am intentionally lying, and you find differently and you cannot publicly admit with direct emphasis to your mistake, then you have placed yourself in that position of not being allowed into my neighborhood, whatever that neighborhood may consist of. Good or bad, it remains so.

To be an AMA VP, as I see an AMA VP, will take a lot of work and work is not my natural thing, so even greater personal emphasis will be required for me.
I will do this for the enhancement of the SPORT of model aviation. My stated objectives are rather clearly stated. I am NOT running a POPULARITY contest.
I have faith that there are more responsible AMA members that recognize such rather than those that prefer the ones that live in the 'just-be-nice-and-quiet' and say only what they want to hear crowd.
Of course that never happened last year however maybe it will this year. If it doesn't, well, nothing ventured -- nothing gained, and the sun will again rise in the east.

So be it.
