<content:encoded><![CDATA[<i>Does the US not have Debt Sheriffs?</i><br />
<br />
Kinda, we have debt collectors, bounty hunters and repossessors,  But they are usually commercial entities with no law enforcement powers and very strict rules on what they can do (which they often break.)  The Sheriff or Marshall is usually responsible for seeing that the orders of the court are enforced.<br />
<br />
<i>They might be useful with this hive of scum and villainy.</i><br />
<br />
Considering the characters above, this would be like a Chronicles of Riddick moment where you use one evil to take out another evil.  I wouldn't wish debt collectors, bounty hunters, or repossessors on anyone...talk about a hive of scum and villainy.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[For someone who doesn't "give a flying fuck" you are pulling out all the stops to make them look good. I'd be inclined to believe you - what the hell would supporting Prenda do for you all the way in Australia, anyway? - if not for the fact we already know you're more full of shit than a clogged toilet.]]></content:encoded>

On the other hand, she IS a Judge, and displays almost total ignorance.<br />
<br />
I am also not biased either way, fact is I don't really give a flying fuck about Prenda, whatever that is. Or Alice Cooper, though he does write some great songs.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Note that the Department of Energy guidelines quoted in my previous comment distinguish between "Normal Flying" and "Terrain Flying." Normal flying is 200-300 feet above the ground or above a nearby obstacle. There is an exception made for landings and take-offs. Nap of the Earth flying is basically justified in military situations, ie., when flying in against machine guns, and trying to go low enough not to be hit. That is the business of Army Aviation, not of civilian government pilots. The next two stops up are 25 ft above the nearest obstacle, and 100 ft, ditto. Both of these are considered risky by definition.  Note also that the National Parks Overflights Act claims quite substantial minimum altitudes, in a case where landing is not permitted.]]></content:encoded>
