"In some parts of the state, you could even fly from one private airstrip to another and remain in uncontrolled airspace, if you stay low enough."

This is what I was referring to. The other stuff, licensing, maintenance, weather (IFR/VFR), I understand.

"This is more fun when we disagree, but you'll have to look elsewhere for someone who opposes federal aviation regulations."

Not at all. It was merely an analogy I've been using to compare to other federal government laws covering activity that has a substantial effect on interstate commerce.
