Atlanta Hobby: Is the end of remote controlled flight really here?

Interesting piece form Atlanta Hobby's Cliff Whitney.

In June 1776, representatives of the thirteen colonies, beginning a struggle against the tyranny and repression of a government gone mad, signed a resolution to declare their independence from Great Britain. This declaration changed the world; it was the first step towards a nation founded on liberty, and a government founded on respect for individual rights. This week, we celebrate the signing of that declaration, a day every American knows as Independence Day.
Now is a critical time in the RC industry. And I think it is a time for us to sign our own declaration.

Interpretation and reinterpretation
I came to despise double-speak during my thirty-plus years in the corporate world. I learned there that when someone came to know something was wrong, they changed the meaning of the words to make it right. I would often hear other executives say “We’ll tell it to them this way or that way,” with no concern for the real way, the truth. If something was flat not going their way, they would “reinterpret” what the words meant. Kind of like saying the sky is yellow instead of blue. Say it enough times and they believed the public would accept it as truth, or better yet, just “reinterpret” what the color blue means.
Most reasonable folks like you and I know this and have seen this in action. Lately, it has been coming from our own government representatives; you know, those folks we elect to represent us, who are supposedly there to listen and respond to our views and requests.
Some examples of reinterpretation:
The second amendment, that states the right to bear arms shall not be infringed, is now reinterpreted to mean only if permitted, taxed and under tightly controlled situations. The freedom of speech is now reinterpreted to mean only in certain areas and times.
Just last week, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen smugly detailed how the agency “accidentally” lost two years of Lois Lerner and six other IRS employees’ emails regarding IRS targeting. Accidentally seems to be reinterpreted to “Hey, I erased the hard drives to protect the IRS.”
These are all examples that the vast American public did not need to have explained in the first place, but reinterpretation changed their meanings. The meaning was very clear for us to start with. Just what part of “Shall not be infringed” do our elected officials not understand?
Many of the darkest times in world history came about because the majority of the public sat idly by, was apathetic, and believed the “reinterpretation” that their governments told them. In 1930s Germany, you know what happened.

Exactly what I've been saying all along! When our elected officials stop doing what we tell them we want them to do, then they lose the authority to act on our behalf. I.E.: They are no longer valid members of our government and we are not subject to follow any of their anti-Constitutional "laws".

Sorry for the short rant, but Obama will NEVER get my guns! Not even from my cold, dead hands
