I think it is very important to seperate AMA from insurance. Everyone at our field is insured, but it is all private insurance. Every one of us takes what we do very seriously, and are in no way flippant about safety.

That being said, I do NOT feel that just because you decide to keep your field un-formalized as a club you are somehow irresponsible.

I'm not anti-AMA. I have nothing against it. I'm not anti-club. I think a club can be a wonderful addition to a field. I am against over-legislation however. I long to return to a simpler time when things were decided between men using common sense, and not legislated by lawyers.

How did this world survive 6000 years without lawyers?
