I think the Brits have the right idea; one has to become licensed, certified, whatever you want to call it, before being allowed to fly solo. The independent-minded among us will scream communism, socialism, don't abrogate my God-given right to fly, etc., etc., ad nauseum. All well and good; but we license drivers, and if you get right down to it, the situations are similar; a person is in control of a potentially lethal instrument in and around other folks.


Food for thought...
