We have something to work with here......
As an old coot, you should remember an archaic idea that we used to call the first ammendment. You may also remember a time when people were able to take personal responsibility for themselves.
People could change the channel if they didn't like something. Today everyone expects someone else to tell them what is okay or change the channel for them. Kind of says a lot about our culture and the American spirit, huh? It's pretty bad that 90% of all recently enacted laws are designed to protect stupid people from themselves. It is also ashame that the government can take away so many personal rights under the pretense of "homeland security". It is an absolute travesty that Russian citizens now have more rights than we do. But hey, if people are more comfortable letting other people tell them what is right or wrong, I guess it makes sense. Too bad we didnt become so lacsidasical 200+ years ago. We could have saved ourselves the headache of forming a new country and laws that had civil and religious rights as a priority
You should vote for Ron Paul. ;) :D

Woah, PADI did away with the "Personal Responsibility" specialty long ago and replaced it with the "Babysitter" cert...
 
Nope, never heard anything favorable about it. It seems to have a reputation for fostering problems. First you want the Surface Interval, then you want Bikini models

Do you have a link?
 
Denniss, copyright is indeed another reason - as all pics are copyrighted. If you're suggesting the posting of pics from a source other than your own personal camera, then you get into that area. Sprearboard may be small enough to overlook, but SB would probly attract more attention from the offended legal departments.

Did you see that Homeland Security had a booth at the show?

On their table they had a spear gun, a half gallon of iced tea, an AL 80 & a bottle of rum. I think they were telling us that it is okay to get all boozed up and fly with a full tank and a spear gun.

That was definetely the message they were sending. At least that's what I got?:D
