DPA: remember the vote on the floor in Philadelphia when the decision was made to ratify a declaration of independance from a monarch? Everyone that voted knew that the penalty for this was death by hanging (and perhaps, even the family members). Quite a chilling picture if you can actually put yourself there. We (as a country) once realized that we were strong and could fight for ourselves and decided that we want to be free. Our founding fathers, that bear the very same resemblance of the pieces of paper that we use for tips to pay the drivers that do the same job that we do (albeit on the ground at 1/10th the speed and difficulty) or the airport terminal choke-n-pukes where we are forced to pollute our digestive systems due to 40 minute turn times on a daily basis. We (as a pilot group) are now big enough and strong enough to stand that fitght. At least now, we cannot swing from the gallows for our movement. On the other hand, no fight that is worth the high ground is easy. The question is, should we Declare Independence and prosper? HOLD THE LINE!!!
