Why are retarded rule makers killing the sport I love?

 Since the end of 2002 we've been flailing around making the rules
progressively stupider each year simply because MS was winning. Sure, a lot
of people don't like the team driver that dominated, I can live with that,
but surely it is realised that once he retires in a year or two that this
retarded setup is going to remain??? Nonsensical qualifying, retarded pit
stops with 30 guys sitting around a car looking at tyres as if they're
scientists, everyone not in the points peeling off into the pits with a lap
to go... We're getting to the point of no return and I'm just honestly
really sad about the state of it all right now. :(­

F1 in 1992 was pretty good. There may have been a whack of no-talents and
nobody teams, but there was interesting tech. The ever loving Life W-12,
the Yamaha V-12, Lamborgini V-12, Ferrari V-12, Honda V-12 and so on.
Loudest races I've ever heard!

I've been watching F1 since the mid 1980s and I agree that the early 1990s
were the best years. Even small teams had opportunities to ocassionally
challenge the big guys in that era. Like a Minardi on the front row of the
grid, an Onyx finish in third position or Coloni qualifying two cars at
Monaco just to name a few examples. Today it is impossible for anybody to
challenge the big teams. I watched Minardi today driving at the back of the
field so far off the pace that it reminds me of the gulf between the 1995
Forti cars and the rest of the grid that season.

I blame the powers who control F1 for the current state of the sport. What
has happened to F1 did not happen over night. It is due to years of the FIA
neglect allowing the big teams to continue to grow which has resulted in the
gap between the haves and have nots growing to what you see today. Plus the
cars have been severly compromised since the start of the 1998 season. Now
we have all these stupid rule changes since 2003. And people ask why F1 is
in poor condition!

To quote Bill Clinton: "It's the economy, stupid!"

Cost cutting measures which will destroy the popularity of F1 are
inevitable in a world economy based on 100% fiat curriencies (paper with
no intrinsic value backing it up) which are slowly but constantly
devaluing ever closer toward zero. I.E., the whole world is slowly
going bankrupt, and it can't afford the extravagances that F1 demands in
order to be done right.

What is a "Dollar"? The US "Coinage Act of 1792" defined a Dollar as:
"DOLLARS OR UNITS - each to be of the value of a Spanish milled dollar
as the same is now current, and to contain three hundred and seventy-one
grains and four sixteenth parts of a grain of pure, or four hundred and
sixteen grains of standard silver.". Don't be fooled by valueless paper
"notes" (debt instruments) masquerading as "Dollars". A Dollar is and
always has been only "silver", and more specifically 371.25 grains of
.999 pure silver.
