You Got It LCS.

This isn't about yea AMA, Boo AMA. It is about control. Who wants to control what others do. It is really bad here. I am a newbee to RC. I am not a newbee to the whole "user group" thing. User groups do some good things. However, like most things, they usually degrade into us v. them. Once they drive those who don't fall into their idea of the perfect "prospect" everyone else goes away and they have the whole place to themselves...at our expense of course. Using AMA as a tool to limit everyone elses enjoyment is no different than sayin if you dont ride a Suzuki, you aint s##t. Or if you don't do what I say, you can't play. I'll be willing to bet that of all the RC'rs out there, about as many have actually either used or got reimbursed from the AMA insurance as have actually seen the Loch Ness Monster. However, as I said before, it is about control. We will control the horizontal, and we will control the verticle. Most people now a days, have plenty of special interest groups controlling things. That, IMHO is why the sport is growing, but the AMA membership is dying off. It ain't about todays kids, it's about the old farts who want things to stay as they are. They've got theirs. Why should they give any of it up to some kid who they either don't understand or don't care to understand.
