<br>Well said. We see the negative effects of lack of accountability
and failure of public people to accept responsibility for their actions
daily. Sad.

but true.. Accountability must become the watch word in school for
teachers and students. I know I have been chastised by some for making
my children very accountable. They now thank me for it. Course when our
young minds see how our politicians aren't held accountable let alone the
Hollywood elite no wonder they feel like they don't have to apply themselves
and be held accountable. Part of reason I enjoy competition so much. Makes
me very accountable to myself for the scores I receive and how prepared
or un-prepared I was.</font></font></b> <b><font face="MS Sans Serif"><font color="#0000FF">

<p>>Tony, when you said that, "AMA didn't even think it important enough
to cover in Model Aviation...", something inside me twinged. So I called
dear friend Bob Hunt(the editor at MA) and asked him if there was to be
even cursory coverage. Realize that the man I'm talking to is a World Champion
in Control-Line Aerobatics, and still a competitor ... His voice saddened
and he told me that the policy at MA is that no team trials are covered,
lest they all have to be covered. Every time something about competition
is covered, droves of readers write in to complain. After every December
issue (the NATs coverage issue) they are barraged with complaints about
the the waste of magazine space. World championships might get coverage,
if they happen in the U.S.! The mediocre have censored coverage of excellence.
Don't hassle Bob, he is one of us!

<p>Ah yes, we can't have anyone's self esteem damaged by having them
<br>realize that someone is better than they are. Many schools have
stopped
<br>giving grades and the top students are no longer recognized, because
of
<br>the same issue. Johnny can't read, but many employers can't tell
him
<br>that and, if they won't hire him, are accused of bias. It's a
sad
<br>commentary on our times.
