Lucky... 0 #26 September 4, 2008 QuoteWell? It's an honest question. He has laid out these lofty plans he has for energy production, for reduced emissions, etc. It doesn't seem out of line to ask if he might maybe slap some hefty fuckin' taxes on G.A., and tether us all to the earth with unaffordable fuel, airport user fees, etc. etc. etc. What do you know, or feel, about the possibility that the way he's talking, he might end up fucking with our fun? Oh, as with Bush's tax on airport use? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucky... 0 #28 September 4, 2008 Quote Quote Surely if they wanted to they could write a bill specifically for skydiving operations, then, and avoid the wrath of the airlines altogether. This would be after Obama railed against the waste, and recited a litany of fuel-consumption figures. Hell, he might even take them from a recent thread I saw on this site... I sort of doubt that Obama is turning to dropzone.com to look for statistics, and I doubt that he's going to make "fucking with skydiving" a priority of his. Geez, dude, lay off the crack already.

Lucky... 0 #30 September 4, 2008 Quote Quote Our fun is about as un-ecologically sound as four-wheeling in the national forests. I'd hope that he wouldn't target GA as opposed to every other gas-guzzling thing we do for fun, but it's really hard to justify skydiving as deserving of special exemption. __________________________________________________ I tend to think Obama would be smarter than to squander the early days of his administration pissing off the GA segment of the public. After all, aviation is an AMERICAN thing - we invented it and cherish our RIGHT to fly. Why would he want to mess with something like that ? What would he gain, but an ulcer ? I'm not worried about him, if anything he won't be so mindlessly buddy buddy with the airlines the Bush has been. We should all start BASE jumping . We could carpool to the site and save gas. __________________________________________________ Uh, no thanks Wendy...... Besides, how can you build a bigway, let alone break it off in waves, from atop an eleven story building ??? ;-) Wendy W. Or do tandems Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
