Aloha Jean –
Who’s being judgmental and rude here? How dare you pin a Scarlet “R” on me! You do not know me. I do not support Mr. Bush and have not voted for him in the last two elections. I don’t believe in party lines, nor do I believe in the Electoral Collage. But that is another topic for another day.
What I do believe in is free thinking and taking responsibility for one’s own actions.
I believe that if people have an issue…then they should go after the issue and not hide behind the banner of the Sierra Club or any other “Grass Roots” organization for that matter. These organizations all have their own “interests” in mind.
I called Thunderfoot on his hidden agenda and he admitted that there was one. I’m still confused by the fact that almost being killed by his own “spooked” horses wasn’t one of his original concerns. In my opinion, this is a cause worthy enough to get a petition signed; and see if the Tour Operators can change to their routes. And yes, even for those who don’t have horses, it’s still downright loud and annoying and I would also support that petition.
Let’s face facts; we all know that air travel is dangerous. We all know that there is less of a chance to survive in an air crash vs. a car crash. But we still, as Americans, need to be allowed our freedoms. I’m familiar with the ratio of maintenance company/tour operators. I myself have had a tour cancellation due to “maintenance.” They're not perfect but they’re as safe as they can be. But, what I don’t need is some legislative directive to tell me I can’t go up in a helicopter and view the lava flow if I want to.
By the way, I also take issue when people move to a location, knowing full well what their situation will be; and then say NIMBY, and expect us to follow their logic and agree with them.
Have a great week!
PS.
No Thunderfoot, I don’t prosper from the Air Tour Industry, I prosper from the truth…and it seems to work just fine for me!
