Ion01 2 #1 September 24, 2009 The government does so well we should get them involved in skydiving! Obama has brought great change and revolution policies to the country and I think we should apply the same ideals to the dropzones. We can't continue to allow DZO's and rig and chute manufactures' greed to control the industry! The have killed 30 people and injuryed over 800 in 2008 among USPA holders alone! Some claim the USPA was established to keep the government out because private industry can do it better. Well, look where its got you! 30 dead and 800 injured in one! How’s USPA working for you?! How’s USPA working for you?! We need to fundamentally transform skydiving! The USPA was established, yes to keep government out, so they could control the community without hindrance! The only way we can stop this trend and put an end to the greed and the stealing is with government! We will not allow you to go back to skydiving like you always have. You will have to work hard. Everyone must do their fair share! There will be equal pay for equal work. No longer shall the skygods rule the dropzones and take all the money. They continue to lord their experience and power over the lower jump number instructor and the community of skydivers. We need social justice! A cap on what the DZO's can make shall be put in place so we can return the wealth to its rightful owner. They can't be allowed to just take and take from us and the community! They are no better than you and therefore should not make more! To long have they taken from you! We will establish a public jumping plan. There are thousands of people who want to jump but don't have enough to pay for it. If you chose not to participate in this plan you will be fined 1,600 dollars a year. You can keep your current jumping plan of course. I never said you would have to give that up and I have never been for a single payer jumping system (even though I have said that in the past). In this way we will return the wealth to its rightful owners. Everyone must do their fair share! This will lower the cost of jumping and will allow everyone to jump. This will not apply to whuffo's (although current whuffo's will be made skydivers). We will establish a cap and trade system which will reduce carbon emissions and reduce our dependence on oil and petroleum products. All use of oil, petroleum, and energy will be taxed and the cost passed on to the consumer but we will save the planet! They cannot continue to pollute our earth with their aircraft and petroleum based products they use in their zero-p fabrics and strong rigs! They can't continue to posion the people with less jumps. They purposefully put their waste in the corner where the less experienced jumpers are with their older gear! We must take over Performance Designs and Mirage because they are too large to fail! We will give it back to the people by giving the investments to the government and unions! If they fail the whole skydiving community would fall and we can't allow that to happen! We will establish a cash for rags program where you can turn in your old gear for cash and get newer gear! This will reduce the amount of injuries and deaths per year due to old, out-dated, and unmaintained gear. Yes, it will cost the government a lot but can you put a price on someone life? You just want to kill them don't you! Also, we need to "make nice" with skyride. They have been revolutionary in their community policys. If you haven't been there then you don't know how good they have it! And when they began to revolutionize and change the system the private dropzone owners and USPA tried to stop them! They didn't care about what was best for the people like skyride! They just wanted to continue to take from society! The video, radio and jump board shall be taken away from the DZO's and given to the low jump number skydivers and students in order to give the power back to the people and minorities! The DZO's have had control too long and let greed and favoritism rule! The low jump number skydivers will students will bring balance and fairness to the system. We will bring you in to help make policies! You students will help shape the dropzone and how it operates! In my first term I have stopped students from having to jump without AADs! I ordered all grounded jumpers freed! We will perform gear checks on whuffo's! Skydivers have been arrogant and whuffo's haven't like skydivers. I will bridge the gap between whuffo's and skydivers. We must all work together as this is not a dropzone problem but a global problem! I have not been proud to be a skydiver until now! We will establish a whuffo safety force as we cannot continue to rely on the DZ safety officers to keep us safe. It will be voluntary but if you want to get off student status you will have to serve. If you serve longer than required you will get free jumps. If you see or hear any false or "fishy" information regarding the public jumping program please PM it to me. I won't keep track of where they come from, I just want to know what is being said. (I will track anyone who looks at this post and visits any sites run by me. Also, I have emergency power to shut down dropzone.com for emergency reasons to keep you safe.) I have released a new report on who may be a threat to your safety. Anyone who is a swooper or wears a Brian Germain shirt or bumpersticker may recruit others and become violent. Anyone who thinks we don’t follow USPA rules or are too big may be a threat. These people may recruit tandem instructors as well for their experience. I have appointed Judge Meyers ("The other alternative is for government to ban skydiving as a sport and to limit skydiving to the Canadian military, where safety rules are strictly observed.") as an advisor and Cheong (skydiving "is too dangerous a recreational activity to be made available to the people.") I will also be funding PETA to help us form our policies and to conduct the census. http://blog.peta.org.uk/2008/skydiving-dogs-what-next-flying-pigs I will be giving a speech to all whuffo’s and will have an worksheet for them to fill out regarding what they can do to help me reach my goals. Schools will also be showing videos such as the following to whuffo’s: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YsJxC485CI&feature=player_embedded This is what you wanted! This is change! This is what you voted for! If you don't agree with these things it’s because you are against me and want me to fail. Its because I have low jump number and you have high jump numbers! You are a numberist!! Numberist!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ion01 2 #8 September 24, 2009 The rules of the FAA and USPA are negative rules and are not as far reaching as is necessary. This is why the FAA regulates the packing of the reserve. Of course this does not technically step out of the bounds of regulating aircraft operation as parachutes often require the use of aircraft in thier operation so, therefore, they are remaining within their bounds of only regulating aircraft opertions even though they regulate the reserve re-pack and riggers. These bounds will need to be redefined, however, to allow the fundamentally transformed USPA and FAA to actually have the authority necessary to ensure the safety of all skydivers.

Do you have a permit for that beer? The USPA and FAA does not garantee the right to drink beer. All beer will need to be registered with the government and if you don't register it by tomorrow all your beer will be confiscated! This is necessary to ensure the safety of everyone. We must do whats best for the skydiving community not the individual! Because you haven't violated the rule of not jumping while intoxicated but you might, I will be setting up a preventive detainment prison for those deemed to unsafe but cannot be tried in court.

citygirl06 0 #13 September 24, 2009 hmmm I don't know if you should be in charge. Do you have any other plans...? Maybe a stimulus plan to help me out?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ion01 2 #14 September 24, 2009 First I want to thank Ion01 for being here and.......(correct response is projected to the telepromter)............... Why yes I do! I have a stimulus plan that will keep the number of new students from dropping below 8.5%. I will be giving $1 million dollars to each dropzone but it can only be spent in ways that I have approved. Ultimately the money will have to be repayed to me, with interest of course. This will help springboard the interest in skydiving and bring more students to the dropzone. PETA will also be recieving 1 billion dollars. Already, I have prevented over 1,000 students from dropping out of the training program. Being female you will be interested to know that I will be giving additional money to the dropzones with more females in them or with lower jump number skydivers to help the minorities and to fight descrimination! I am also not going to allow people to go to dropzones that are not in their district. Everyone will have to go to the nearest dropzone. This will keep the evil rich skydivers from going to the nicer dropzones with the large turbo prop aircraft and will help make all dropzones equal.

Think about it before you go opening your mouth, you make yourself look more paraniod than you already are. You are obviously a wealthy numberist! We need to increase taxes on you to spread your numbers out to people like me who haven't gotten to jump as much as we've wanted to. Does taxing you for 56% of your jumps sound about right?
