    Learn in 172 or DA40

    Nope. I've owned, rented, and instructed in a variety of high and low wing airplanes. The DA40 is actually my favorite, and if we get the 3rd class medical resolved, it will be the one plane that I return to flying in. Great visibility, handling, landing characteristics, comfortable, etc...

    Are we really scared of our own shadows?

    Lawyers, insurance companies, facility management, law enforcement, PR team, James Taylor, and an assorted list of other experts. Sounds like you were at a Live Nation venue. I refuse to attend anything associated with Live Nation after the BS over the Jimmy Buffett concert changes...

    Departing VMC for a IFR flight plan non towered

    It's also the circumstances. A pop-up due to weather, sure. Picking up a clearance in the air because you're too lazy to use the phone or RCO on the ground or you don't want to wait for other departures, not so much in some airspace. Potomac will refuse you in the latter situation, and get...

    What has the FAA done to you?

    Yep. Then the cries about needing the govt. to step in and "do something" would be loud. I'd venture to guess that less than 10% of the population would actually survive in this crowd's "leave us alone, we'll take care of ourselves" world. Nobody cares to look at the downside, unless poor...

    No, but the IOUs were, and under current law, they are being paid out for disability and retirement. Subject to change of course, but find me a credible Politician who will vote to abolish SS. Fear not Bart. You'll pay to fund my luxury car leases and vacations, and someone behind you will...

    According to decades of pamphlets, posters, and now the Internet, SS is an important part of retirement planning. Look at all the happy old people on the .gov site: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/planners/retire/ We get it. You're bitter about being taxed to fund blue hair lifestyles. It's a...
