Let me repeat the question you ignored because it is important.

Please explain how and why we should bend knee to the likes of you.
No one expects you to, Jim. Least of all, me. If you don't think I can get some changes made at AMA, so be it.
I have stated my most ardent positions somewhere around this forum. If you don't like 'em, so be it.

If you think my directions are good for model aviation and care to lend your support --Welcome. If not, so be it.

Your call.
Horrace the Horrible,

You sound just like every other sleazy politician, twist the words but don't answer the direct question.

Before you get the wrong idea and think I am just against all of your ideas, let me share a factual story with you.

Ever hear about Emu ranches?

Several years ago it was discovered that cooked emu is extremely low in cholesterol and tastes pretty good. The problem was that there is other additional information that was not made available to those who jumped into the market of raising the birds by the thousands. Everyone just had to buy and raise those birds. There were fanstastic business plans and a few folks made lots of money, early on. The problem showed up after several hundred pounds of ground emu were in the markets.

Know what happened?

Most of those ranchers went broke as the emu meat market went rapidly and irrevocably bust.

Ever wonder why?

Cooked emu meat is in fact, very tasty and very healthy. The problem is the terrible stench it releases when being cooked just about knocks the average person over. It can make some sick to the stomach. Hard to sell and hard to eat if you can't stand to cook it. That killed that market and broke many folks who spent hundreds and thousands of dollars only to have huge birds they couldn't sell but needed to feed.

The point is that many of your ideas, liked cooked emu meat, are great but the price we would have to pay in other areas just to have you put them in place is like the smell of that emu meat cooking.

I would prefer you share your ideas with others and let them work out the details.
