RE: New/Revised AMA Safety Code item:
Taking up a subject that needs to be talked about. A lot of things on this and other sites are a lot of fun for me. As the KID puts it, I am not a spring chicken. Staying around does have some good. A person gets to see a lot of stuff. Everything I have seen that drugs and alcohol is part of. Is bad! There is three parts of a law. The intent, the spirit and the letter of the law. The problem with any law, is enforcement. Judges sit and debate for days, weeks and years a law that some cop has to make a call on in minutes. Right now before the Surpreme court is a case about drinking, and how the law was enforced.
So my friends I ask you go on and talk about this subject. Perhaps we can one day figure out how to put a end to this rule violation at the flying field. Please keep in mind that the first step is a rule or law. After we have a law or a rule. The law or rule must stand the test of time. How the law is applied. The bottom line is we do need rules.
One last thing about drinking. If someone is at "your flying field" and someone bites the bullet and tells a person he has to go because of drinking. What next? Think of this. After a person is told they must leave. They get into a car, truck or van and drive off. They crash into some poor slob. Were does that leave the club? Were does that leave the person that run the dude off?
Me and other like me have put the cuffs on people that hurt other people because of impaired driving. We have helped send people to the joint for a long time. None of any of that brought one victum back or ease their pain and suffering.
Our elected officials at the AMA are trying to deal with a very serious issue. We should all try to help.
Have a nice day.
