I don’t fly commercial, being over 100 times more dangerous than commercial doesn’t help: in 2005 general aviation in the United States (excluding charter) suffered 1.31 fatal accidents for every 100,000 hours of flying in that country, compared to 0.016 for scheduled airline flights.

If they didn’t land on houses, I wouldn’t mine. I knew people in a house in Hill Top Lakes that was burned down, pilot killed when he tried to land at their small airport.

No thanks, I’m not a base jumper or flier. Again, with one, the public isn’t at risk.

Most of us refer to The United States as "this country," not "that country." Where are you from, that you consider the U.S. a foreign country, and our ideas of freedom are foreign to you?

How do you propose we eliminate the risk of pedestrians getting run over? Should we outlaw automobiles? What other limitations do you wish to impose on Americans?
