Subject: Preserving Freedom - Flying and otherwise

In the context of a Federal Government that is intent on seeping into=20
every aspect of our lives, I have always been amazed at the lack of=20
intrusion into Experimental Aircraft. The idea that you can build an=20
airplane, demonstrate that it flies and then go have fun seems so out of =

character from what we have come to accept as a national government.

That said, it seems inevitable that the National Nanny will seek to save =

us from our own "foolishness" by imposing rules and regulations that=20
guarantee safety (yes I know that statement is an oxymoron). We rarely=20
mention this looming threat, and when we do we speak in whispered tones=20
while watching our feet scuff the dirt, but the Regulations of Damocles=20
hang over our collective heads suspended by a vanishingly thin thread of =

reason. Then, there is the potential assault on the finance front. User=20
fees, fuel taxes, property taxes, income taxes and inheritance taxes are =

all arrows in the socialist's redistribution quiver.

I am an engineer and inventor. I make my living by seeing into the=20
future and doing what was previously undoable. About two years ago, =20
shortly after Stu Seffron's (a staunch Libertarian) tragic death, I=20
performed an engineer's analysis of our political situation. My=20
conclusions were depressing. The political elites of both parties have=20
shaped the battlefield and defined the rules of engagement to the extent =

that the choices offered to "We the People" are limited to "Bad" and=20
"Really Bad".

When Caligula was faced with enormous Roman debt, he commanded wealthy=20
citizens to make Rome the beneficiary in their Wills and then=20
"suggested" they kill themselves. One cannot help but compare this with=20
the Estate "Death" Tax and "End of Life Counseling" of the new Health=20
Care legislation.  The politicians will decide if you are worth an=20
expensive treatment or, if it is denied and you die, they get half your=20
estate. Hmmm, tough decision.

Face it fellow fliers, we are low hanging fruit when it comes time to=20
harvest from the select Peter for the benefit of the collective Paul.

The fundamental problem is that even if we elect Representatives that=20
share our views, once they are in office they are surrounded by=20
lobbyists, PACs, Special Interest Groups and others offering rewards for =

favors or support. There is no seat at this table for the Voters who=20
elected the Representative. The Representative is cut off from Voter=20
feedback and is blown off course to the Dark Side.

It is easy for a single person to make their views known to the many. I=20
am doing this now. What is far more difficult is for the consensus of=20
the many to be known by the one. If this were possible, then true=20
Representative Government could be a reality.

Like any self respecting primate, when faced with a task beyond my=20
ability, I built a tool. That tool is called VoxVerus and it allows the=20
views of  "We the People", the Voters, to be known by our=20
Representative. I conceived, developed and deployed VoxVerus and am now=20
making it available to everyone for free. Go to www.voxverus.com  to=20
find out more.

I believe that the elements that predispose people to build and fly=20
airplanes are the same elements exhibited by people inclined to pick up=20
a new tool and wield it to help preserve the Republic. We may just be=20
smooth apes but we are smart, independent, self sufficient, tool savvy=20
and outside the box apes.

VoxVerus can be used long term to help guide our representatives=20
regarding the issues, including aviation issues. For discussions to=20
those ends, this is a good forum. If you want to talk about VoxVerus in=20
general, email me directly and save this list for its intended purpose.
