JR,

The problem with you is that you are so in tune with the details your failing to see whats important to others. There needs to be an insurance only option for clubs and individuals. Thats it....plain and simple.

I want the option of being able to tell the local club..."hey, I'm covered. Do you mind if I fly?" I don't want the response.."Sorry, we are an AMA chartered club" If I go to an AMA sanctioned event I would like to ask...Is it possible to fly if I pay an entry fee for insurance purposes?" I think a response of "Sorry, this is an AMA event" isn't condusive to the hobby. It also doesn't go along with the AMA's mission statement.

You can pretend (with all the others) that this is some kind of campaign of ignorance. There's no argument on the basics I mentioned above. Maybe there is with how I've arranged the facts. I think you're all perfectly capaable of seeing beyond that though. I'm not here to go toe to toe with half the AMA officers.

Believe me, I've dealt with issues of great magnitude. Coming up against a group of hard core allies on one side of an issue isn't new to me. As overwhelming as it may seem to you, it's silly to me and definitely not something I feel like spending my life to understand. On the other hand, it's not difficult to see and understand it quickly.

Yes, as I mentioned before, I could look at everything you refer to. The first time I did I found that it supported exactly what I was saying the whole time. Thanks!

A word of wisdom to you and yours...Its much easier to 'Go with the Flow' on this one. The most interested aren't here. The watch dogs are.

Now it's my turn....Talking down to someone who's as smart as you doesn't work. Stop trying to throw the blanket over the world. People know whats going on here. Details don't help the argument if the big picture is obvious to everyone. Correcting people at every turn only shows one thing. It shows that the individual has the time to do it. It doesn't mean anything else.

Just remember...I'm in the AMA because I like to fly too. By the way, I just got my magazine. To tell you the truth, it wasn't all that bad. They really have their fingers around us....don't they?
