I'm not sure whether political comments on a model airplane forum or just plain black/white thinking are most distressing, but it just may be the latter. If you support any particular "ism" as the only right way to think and post that philosophy, then your post is probably inappropriate to this forum - or anywhere else. Extremes are not usually good thinking, especially when people of any given side are too often ignorant of where the extremes actually lie. This thread that could have gone toward positive observations - thinking toward remedying what we ALL see as a problem or potential problem - is really difficult to keep on topic, especially when we want to discuss the causes, and I think it's wandered "off path" a bit. One thing I've come to believe is that regardless of how a person has come to be what he is, there comes a point where he just must be handled for what he IS. All the sociological and political aspects do need addressing, but the problems of the moment cannot be handled on a 20-year plan, and mythical 4-year plans don't cut it. It takes a L-O-N-G time to build something, but a relatively short time to destroy it.
SO,...I think we need to focus on how to handle these guys and how to keep them from inflicting damage on the CL community and, yeah, civil rights too. At the moment, it seems that even though they scarcely notice us and the FAA is surprised to know we exist, we are not targetted as fliers who need to register with the FAA. They just don't seem to know exactly how to say that.
FWIW...
