[SEL] Nat Rally Reg's New Letter

[chuck emsweller]

Still sounds an awful lot like communism to me.  Were it that way in the
states, I am afraid I wouldn't be attending any shows.  Which would mean
that the general public would be the ones missing out on the engines
that I display.  I would still have my engines at home for my enjoyment
and would continue to run them at will without fence or special
insurance.  

The sad part is, if we don't fight it now, I can see the US shows moving
in that direction in the next few years.  All due to a bunch of
do-gooders that think they know how to protect me and others better than
we do ourselves. More bureaucratic BS if you ask me. 

As for Cape Canaveral, if I were STUPID enough to stand under the
rockets to watch a launch, I guess I would deserve to be dead!  As for
engines, I don't think it is the same.  It simply appalls me to think
that our forefathers were so much more advanced than us that they could
safely run these people killers without having to rope or fence them off
or worry about insurance.  Yes, accidents will and do happen.  Let's
deal with the problem of all the sue happy idiots out there instead of
the symptom of some asshole attorney's and insurance rip offs stepping
in and scaring us all away from our hobby!  

Gentlemen, get some courage and join Reg in the fight for your hobby.
Reg, don't give up the battle as far as this Hoosier is concerned, you
are on the right track!

Chuck Emsweller

Perhaps if i spell it out in big letters Chuck or could we liken it to
going
to Cape Canaveral to watch a rocket launch....don't think you could
stand in
the launch pad with out insurance!
