David Wilkins - 26 May 2005 15:41 GMT
Folks,

Given all the love and compassion we have for Jerry I thought what a
neat idea to just start a thread where we can focus all that kindness,
love and affection I know we all have for this poor man.

I mean to be burdened with such serious and terminal afflictions, it
has surely taken a toll on his sanity and as we were all taught one
must be kind to those less fortunate amongst us.

So please feel free to add to this thread your outpourings so poor
Jerry knows not every one in the world hates him and he doesn't need to
go eat worms.

Insincerely

David

Yes, but a shipment of class 1 hazmat, in any form, "labeled as model
airplane parts", will not keep the DOT away..(:-)))

I don't know but some here would like to donate a full length dinner coat to
Jerry ( the kind with the buckles in the back) from the Bellview Limited
collection via their Camarillo outlet store.

You got it wrong Phil, that was a gross under estimate, he spends many
orders of magnitude more time in RMR than I do we all know the stats.

Now this thread is about extended the hand of kindness and
understanding to the poor man, after all he is very very sick and the
government would appear to have been deficient in taking him into care.

I really do feel for Jerry and his type.  Here in the states, almost
all the state run institutions have been closed.  They still
institutionalize the criminally insane but Jerry hasn't reached that
point yet.

Criminally insane mostly refers to violent criminals and some repeat
offenders - Jerry's behavior is to inconsistent to fall into that
category.

Oh you mean correcting your ill informed advice about Australian
legislation as it relates to rocketry is a bad thing. Or encouraging
folks to be nice to you in light of your handicaps, or are you asking
that I should abuse you? wow you are in a far more serious situation
than I could have imagined.

Yeah he is such a giving kinda person, just like Typhoid Mary, they
just go on giving and giving and giving.

And when you try to help them they become so irrational.. Poor Jerry..

Yes and you could simply walk past the poor man lying in the street
without extending a helping hand.  For me the small amount of time it
takes is rewarded by that warm inner glow that I have done humanity a
service in being kind to one less fortunate than myself.

I mean really the government should have taken him into their care and
placing him with others of his persuasion for a few years, rather than
leaving him destitute and out on the streets where he will no doubt be
tempted into more harm.

I suspect a tongue in cheek troll to generate personal epithets
or a flame war?

Not to insult anyone but I do enjoy reading all views on an issue
even if I do not agree with it.  The repartie can be very entertaining
although the personal epithets get old sometimes.  Glue sniffing,
really.  Can't you come up with something new?

I suspect Mr. Irvine desires that we all be allowed to enjoy this great
hobby without interference.  He would have to speak for himself on this
point but I bet he would agree that my inference is valid as far as he
is concerned.

As far as certain legal situations are concerned I only have one
observation based on incomplete information.  Uncle (ie. Uncle Sam,
nee' "The Government") doesn't like to be lied to.  Now I do believe
that APCP propellant is relatively safe and if someone wants to keep it
in their house, heck that is the best place for it.  Most folks don't
want their house burning down and take appropriate precautions.  Look at
the insurance industry. Try to get insurance on an empty house and you
will pay more than if you live in it.  They like the homes occupied.

Do there need to be limits?  Sure, but not the totalitarian controls
that will kill the hobby if the government wins the "lawsuit". The
major rocketry groups can review what is in place already and make
changes if need be.  Personally, I see no need for an LEUP for rocketry.
Yes I know the law says you need it if you are at a certain level but I
do not think that is right.

I bought a kit from USR asked some general questions about some topics
and Jerry gave me some very nice pointers.  I believe I had a very nice
experience.  If I'm successful I feel inclined to share the event by
email/jpegs as many rocketry purveyors seem inclined to take
satisfaction at their customers triumphs. Also may lead to repeat
business.:)

Perhaps I would feel different if I was personally involved in some of
the situations alluded to here about certain alleged events but this is
the way I see it after 9 months of involvement with rocketry again.

                             Let the flames begin!

Then jerry should sit down an hush, especially his bad mouthing of
certain individuals and organizations, as what good information he may
share on occasion is more often than not drownded out by the bad
mouthing.

Most of us agree with what you say in principle, but unlike Jerry, we
choose not to "live the life stile", as Jerry claims or alleges he
does.. (:-) Your correct about uncle and not liking to be lied to; Jerry
obviously didn't understand..

Understand about the kits; just happen to have a couple of them myself,
even a 6" Stub: modifies it with a 75mm motor mount and added a 24"
upper section and payload section for two stage deployment. No doubt the
rocket will be a great performer when I get around to launching it. Gota
make sure Phil is there, so he can do a review for HPR..(:-)

I would say, Jerry's involvement with those "certain alleged events"
especially DOT, is a bit more than just alleged.. (;-)

You're giving Jerry to much credit.  All you did was reuse SOME of the
parts in his kit.

HPR is one area where Jerry and I agree on quite a few things.  

Anyone care to guess how many issues of HPR have shipped so far this
year?  - Not you Fred, David or Kevin.  Clue - there are two working
days left in May.

To put it in Jerry Speak - less that two. I love that one.  Jerry
tells DOT that he works for a company that employs 'less than two
people.'

But they have no compunction whatsoever about doing the lying.

But cannot simply use existing exemptions.

Or make changes with REDUCTIONS in access controls on a "known safe"
activity.

Pleased to see your happy with the kit you received, and I do wish you

Unfortunatly I once thought as you do, that all this cannot be true,
but alas as soon as I joined a particular rocketry club, he got all
irrational.

Cripes,

  I didn't want to promote a firefight. Just tolerate different points
of views and if one disagrees,fine. We can all get together for drinks
later on like all the mother-f__k'in lawyers and rant and rave about how

I think anyone who is serious about the hobby should contribute to the
legal fund either directly or through the Save Rocketry fund.  Might
even win something in the S.R. raffle.  I am proud to say I have donated
to a major rocketry group to the legal fund and also through the
S.R. raffle.  If I don't win anything that is absolutely fine with me.
If we win the lawsuit to get the BATF off of our backs that will be
satisfaction enough for me.  If we don't win, won't matter as the hobby
will become so regulated that I probably will have to give it up.
  Come on, an LEUP requirement just to have some low current igniters?
Sheeee_____t! a terrorist bast__d will just use a bigger battery in
their bomb!!!  Makes no sense whatsoever to me.
  To the idiot who suggested that one of our fine altimeter/dual
deployment (R) devices could be used for an airliner bomb I hope
you die a thousand deaths.  First off, they all detect acceleration and
would never even arm in the belly of an airplane. Second off, if there
was a perverse enough engineer out there who wanted to design a
destructive device, they would only have to go to Mouser or Digikey to
purchase the parts they would need. Thirdly, the sniffers at the
airports are getting better in the detection of such explosives.

 I think that is so dumb too, its not like they are blasting caps. I have
allways made my own igniters, but I am sure if the leo's found them I would
be labled a terrorist and procecuted. When there are too many laws everyone
becomes a criminal!!!
