In my experience, when the wx is really crappy and most
light a/c are on the ground, the singles you will often
find flying are bonanzas and mooneys.

The bonanzas are often flown by very affluent people that
think that because they can pour enormous amounts of money
into flight directors and other gizmos, that they have
financially earned the right to be up there in the goo.

When you find mooneys up there in the muck, they're much
more likely to be owned by someone who is nowhere near
as affluent as the bonanza owner, but is likely 10 times
crazier than the bonanza owner.

See, the bonanza owner likely doesn't know of the danger,
or simply thinks that he can buy his way out with a
glideslope coupling autopilot to fly his airplane for him.

But the mooney owner, he knows it's dangerous, but he just
doesn't care. He's more than a little nuts. Remember, jim
campbell owns a mooney :


Perhaps an analogy may be made to the modern practice of Obstetrics,
which replaced midwifery as the modality of choice for delivering
infants decades ago. Clearly modern obstetrics has been beneficial to
cases where a Caesarian section or other intervention unquestionably
prevented maternal or neonate deaths. It's equally clear that modern
obstetrics has created many disasters by untimely, unnecessary, or
convenience-motivated intervention which would have proceeded in
uncomplicated fashion otherwise.

Psychiatrists and Obstetricians are often exceedingly arrogant
people. Since their workload has gone up and since fewer buy V-tailed
Beech Bonanzas-which ameliorated their dysgenic and arrogant effects
as the last thing going through their minds was often the accessory
case of a GTSIO Continental-fewer get to observe their fury when
their
universal beneficience is called in question.

Scientology has simply, in the words of Jim Goad, "**** in the
swimming pool". Now one cannot wholeheartedly endorse a Thomas Szasz,
because scienos have used his position so effectively, even though
they are not endorsed by Szasz, who has many valid observations.

Ed Note: A TSIO maybe,do Bonanzas have _geared_ Continentals? I don't
know. I know Mentors don't.
