So you have been introduced to "Them". Them is those people what don't want other people to enjoy "other things".
Notice this dick has just moved into the area, relative to the age of the airport?
I know I yap on and on about the gun banners, like an old flappy jawed cheetah, but these people is just like "them" and "they" don't want you to have things or do things because...because, quite simply they just don't want you to.
We had a buffoon like this near the airport where I fly jumpers. He had moved to the neighborhood after building his gas station/fast food franchise in town. One of his excusess that he wanted the airport closed was pollution...but yet he sold gasoline to cars and the wrappers from his fast food sales littered the neighborhood.
My wife worked manifest at the Drop Zone and she was usually there when this crackpot and his wife would call, screaming that the planes were causing her kids to have nightmares. They threatend to go all the way to capitol hill with their complaints, and they did. We got ramped by the local FSDO guy and he said the "word" came down all the way from DC, from someone who you don't normally get to call and bother at work.
The ramp check went well and the FED realized after many other calls, that the complainer was a crackpot.
Eventually, Mr and Ms 500,000 dollar home with a swiming pool, tennis court and out buildings, packed up and sold the place. Hopefully, they took their wanker little kids with them and moved back to Illinois where they came from.
It would have been realy funny if I would have found the farmer that owned the land next to this jerk and managed to lease some of his property in order to hold machine gun shoots. "the hills are alive, with the sound of music..."
