All these various flight students are not rich, irresponsible people but hard-working individuals concerned with safety factors above all. There are many emergency services that use our airport helicopter ambulances, police and paramedic flights, which often mean the difference between life and death. I would hope we could all work together, like Carlsbad's airport and other community airports, set up an airport committee with residents and pilots exchanging civil, meaningful dialogue a forum for discussing and acting on any ideas or complaints. We need reform like never before, yet Congress isn't in a big hurry to cut down on its re-election funds. So much soft money is spent on campaigns these days that political influence is far from being tracked.
Soft money allows foreign and unwanted influences to control election funds without limits.
This is not how an open, honest election system should work. Soft money also forces that candidates' views and actions be skewed by donors. Money can be given to elections, but when the candidate is contributed to, he must take into consideration all major donors. This allows one group to have more influence than another, and the more money you have to give, the more influence you have on the election. But this is the U.S. A., the land of equality, democratic experiment, and he who has the power should not necessarily have the power.
