	Where have you been hiding. The EAA (Experimental Aircraft Assoc.)
has been growing in membership at an astounding rate with more aircraft
beeing built every year. This hardly qualifies as a declining interest.
And to classify these aircraft as "toys" only shows your ignorance of
what is really happening. The need in general aviation IS addressed by 
the new proposal.  Its unfortunate that the people with the power
have the bucks and don't appreciate the bind the "average" pilot is in.
I wonder what the reaction would be if the same restrictions and 
expense were applied to ground transportation?  Your attitude would
translate into restricting car sales to new Cadillacs and Mercedes, etc.
letting the "common people" ride the bus.  Well f%^k that!
