I must be attracted to strange an different people. Probably because Im strange and different too. :lol:

BTW, what is this drone thing.? Does Amazon drop off your order from a drone? With my luck it would probably land in a pile of dog doo-doo. :lol:

Not a bad idea, but what if you ordered a refergerator? What would they do, drop it through your roof into your kitchen?

I actually watched the episode on 60 Minutes interviewing Jeff Bezos about the use of drones. It was fascinating and very cool. I don't have a problem with it if the FAA doesn't.

yup that's where i first learned about it...great concept, but how would an accident be avoided w/a kid playing in his own yard ?

i'm beginning to think the whole thing was " publicity driven "..

The whole thing sounds like an urban legend to me. Complete BS.
