Bye to Rocketry, Large Sale

That is central to my point. You find more value in one occupation over another, even when BOTH involve public service, and even when the "firefighter" is a low duty cycle (runing into burning building and save someone may be a couple times a year) vs a teacher who educates a child every hour of every day.

BOTH are valuable.

And I would teach him about rockets without a second thought. Besides the "hero aspect" of being a fireman. IT IS A JOB they get paid for. Many people go into fireman positions because of favorable pay, work hours, and career advancement potential. The fact they are worshipped as heros is a "job perk".

But they do not work for free.

I have assisted many people with rockets for free. Without the hero worship (well, some of the time).

Compel "proper" public service. Make everyone firefighters.

Impressive retort, and so on-topic.

Besides that, jerry was and still is the ONLY suspect in the Arson fire that burned Frank Kosdon's garage.

False. I was exonerated in full. BULLETPROOF alibi.

You?

You just love to spew s*it, don't you?

Ready now?

Are you going to burn MY house down?

Exactly Jerry...you are full of BS...this guy is exactly right! You are not doing diddly jack other than whining your ass off on RMR rather than going out and actually TRYING to make the govt. reconsider! Oh, wait...that word, TRYING, isn't in your dictionary unless the definition is, "TRYING to piss everyone off that actually wants the hobby to survive!" Get the POINT, Jerry?

Oh, boo-hoo for you, Jerry! I may not be as prolific a poster as you and you minions, but there are sometimes that you just have to comment on something, and this was one of those times.

I am not a troll - I am a ROCKETEER!

I LOVE MY HOBBY! I'LL DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT IT!!!

I was successfully living the 27 CFR 555.141-a-8 lifestyle long before AT ran ads declaring some motors "ATF Restricted access" or before TRA and NAR ADDED an illegal LEMP requirement, or then sued the ATF.

I built up an HPR market they squandered and scared off!

It may be a while till that market can be rebuilt by the only guy with a track record of accomplishing it, but watch and see.

In the mean time, criticize me all you want. I was walking the walk long before you were talking the talk.

Jerry

Invite 20-200 people to join you. I did.

Jerry, YOU are not a teacher.

Yes, but you want us to believe that YOU allegedly doing rocketry demos at a school is equal to, or greater than, the work of a firefighter.

You're constantly demanding hero worship, despite the fact that 90% of your contribution to the hobby has been detrimental.

You go first.

It's becoming increasingly apparent that Jerry shares the same place in the world as a suppository.

Yeah, and look what it got you. You're a wannabe motor manufacturer who lacks the necessary government permits to legally make, sell or ship motors and ended up getting stuck with a $40k fine. You've done nothing but whine online for years.

LOL!

That is an inflammatory statement, Ray.

P'raps some preparation H would make the swelling go down?

steve

Of course you do, your ego won't let you do anything else.

Jason possesses something you lack utterly and completely -- class and humility.

Jerry's in a strange situation...a Preparation-H suppository would make him collapse in on himself and disappear, but a dose of Viagra would just make him taller.

But not very much taller...

A German friend-of-mine's wife was delivering (a baby) in France. She didn't understand that what they gave her was a suppository. So she ate it. Baby came out OK anyway. :^)

Hey Mike, you been watching Sci-Fi again? ; )
