What then, is 'Folly'.?...
To some, it is:-
“A costly ornamental building with no practical purpose, especially a tower or mock-Gothic ruin built in a large garden or park.”
Having defined what the building is – we need look no further than the Canberra edifice which houses our aviation “safety watchdogs” for example; - but wait, there's more. One has to wonder if living isolated from the real world, in 'a folly' does not induce some form external exhibition of the essence of 'folly': that of the political human side of the word?
“In politics, what begins in fear usually ends in folly.”
Seems Master Morgan of the AOPA has managed to provoke a response from not only the inutile DOIT but also from the leader of the CASA Fool-Aide club. Oh dear, oh dear: Oh deary me.
Well done Ben and AOPA – they took the time to not only read out, on face-book, those responses; then rather than curling up into a ball – Morgan took to the task of responding with not only gusto; but hard facts, logic and the opinion of most of the aviation world. It ain't just the locals who despair – there is some genuinely large international eye brows raised.
That will now be compounded; they should never, ever taken the bait and have responded to Morgan – talk about taking a knife to a gunfight – Holy smoke; there is real folly in responding, because now the gloves are off and it is a street fight, in the open, in public. It will take very little more bluff, bull-shit and bluster from Spence and crew to take the lid off the can of worms CASA have been trying to keep a lid on for years and years. The Genie of fact, supported by evidence, errors and mismanagement and possibly even malfeasance can very easily escape the bottle.
There are always two options in any bar room brawl; don't bite: say nothing and walk away or, take you jacket off – given the time of course. (Never happened in any brawl I engaged in by the way).
Watch and listen as Morgan fights his corner _ _ HERE _ _ on Facebook (no log in) just toggle the video – and stock up on the popcorn.
“Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other, and scarce in that.”
Toot – toot – (unlike Sydney ferries; the houseboat is always ready to roll).
