By the time they discover the negative aspects of something, it's too late to put the genie back into the bottle and we're all stuck with it.
Also, we probably ARE powerless to stop it. Our Constitution and Bill Of Rights have been reinterpreted to the point that large corporations often have more rights than people now. Therefore, Google, Amazon, Pizza Hut etc will likely be given the go ahead for drone deliveries regardless of how many folks object to having them flying just 200ft above their houses day and night.

I disagree. We can stop this and it won't just be AMA members. A case has already been won by someone who shot a drone out of the sky over his property. Property rights cases may make hay of this. The FAA has gotten around this largely by settling cases out of court. They cannot do that if there is a large number of cases.
