You know I really enjoy this forum and spend a lot of time here. One thing that does get on my nerves a little bit is the endless tirades against the AMA. I realize it probably isn't perfect, and maybe not everyone needs it, but I enjoy the magazine and as a renter don't have other insurance coverage. I think it's a good deal for me and probably for a lot of other people. Having served on municipal boards and being active in local government, I can tell you that gripers far outnumber helpers. If you don't need them, don't pay the dues. If you want to change them, run for office. Most of the people in the leadership of the AMA are doing it for the love of the sport, I don't think anyone is getting rich taking the abuse. In my opinion, if you don't want to put in the time or energy to lead, follow or shut up.
