re: #11 Indy GOP Refugee

I’ll add in my own defense and I differ widely from GOP policy not just affiliation. It’s just that my moderate right lean is in that general direction so gets me lumped in with the real crazies sometimes.

Wouldn’t a moderate right-lean lump you in with the Democrats who believe in reasonable regulation, rather than with the far-right anti-regulation crazies?

It’s a little weird to me that a cam drone like a phantom can’t be used in the very same airspace where you could put up a wind generator, antenna or let someone put up a cell tower.

A wind generator, antenna, or cell tower are all going to stay put once installed to meet code. What’s to stop an idiot with a drone from going above where these items would be and get into commercial airspace?

We could skip the license requirements and just jail anyone who flies into commercial air-space, but I think it’s probably better to keep them out of the hands of people who can’t handle being trained and being responsible, rather than waiting for one to take out a passenger plane by flying into an engine intake.
