Much bigger than any drone or model aircraft. Btw in 30 years flying into DTW, FLL, PBI, JFK all of which have RC fields on final under the approach inside 2-4 miles plus all the busiest hubs in the world ask me how many "drones", model aircraft of ANY type I've seen in my flight path. Got a number? Think hard. Ready?

0000000000.000000!

Now how many birds have I hit, seen, had to avoid? Balloons, kites-
Too many. None of them are regulated. Hmmmmm but they don't "invade privacy". Safety or privacy? Let's call a spade a spade and get on to a solution instead of all this "dancing".

When you say "I think we need legislation to regulate eagles" how do you mean? In what context, where, how. Is it eagles only or do you have other birds in mind as well?

I'm hoping we both should have entered (enter sarcastic font here)!

If the gubmint was calling spades spades the whole country would be a completely different place.

OK SO THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL SITE BUT I JUST CAN'T HOLD MY TONGUE...

DISCLAIMER THIS IS MY POLITICAL VIEWS AND YOU ALL ARE ENTITLED TO YOURS AS WELL... I RESPECT AND SERVED FOR YOUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH...

WITH THAT BEING SAID... HERE'S MY THOUGHTS AND DELIGHT IN THE NEWS THIS MORNING!


Did you guys see the news this morning... "Generals say women should have to register for draft". See it here... https://www.yahoo.com/news/generals-women-register-draft-161631772--politics.html

Now I'm not saying woman can't serve and I for one have seen them serve and contribute in great ways... I'm only saying that a lot of young woman are probably saying this morning... WAIT.... WHAT???? That's what happens when the masses sits back and let's special interest groups push an agenda in the name of Freedom.

People must stop letting special interests run our country into the ground. Shoot our kids can't even pray in school AND some can't say the Pledge of Allegiance! These were simple things this Country was founded on.

ALL Politicians should have a defined term and not allowed to be career politicians!

There should NOT be two RULING parties... Just one unified party.... The People!

John Adams said:


"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution."


George Washington agreed, saying in his farewell presidential speech:


"The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty

Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind, (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight,) the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.

It serves always to distract the Public Councils, and enfeeble the Public Administration. It agitates the Community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.

There is an opinion, that parties in free countries are useful checks upon the administration of the Government, and serve to keep alive the spirit of Liberty. This within certain limits is probably true; and in Governments of a Monarchical cast, Patriotism may look with indulgence, if not with favor, upon the spirit of party. But in those of the popular character, in Governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. From their natural tendency, it is certain there will always be enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose. And, there being constant danger of excess, the effort ought to be, by force of public opinion, to mitigate and assuage it. A fire not to be quenched, it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest, instead of warming, it should consume."

Imagine if they could see us now? :facepalm:

Just a couple of my frustrations and thoughts! Have a great day and if you have a different opinion on the matter... fantastic! Just be nice about it when responding.

Amen brother. It's a tall order to uphold. We can't even agree on toy planes! You have a good one too. One thing is certain. If you don't do anything someone else will and it will likely not be what you were thinking of doing.

It seems to me most of us see eye to eye on a lot of this... It's interesting to me that politicians get all the attention when it comes to electing whereas it should be strictly about the people giving the opportunity to serve their country. We the people for the people ya? anyways.... I don't want to ramble.
