Sadly, I don't think this is going to change soon, as the moral issues
dividing the two parties are so stark.

I don't agree. I see a lot of willingness of certain people to try, and
to
try to find common ground, of which there is plenty. We all have much
more
in common than not. To begin with, we all share a common love so we're
like
some sort of family. And, like most families, we are unfortunately
somewhat
disfunctional, but still a family...

Peter, I wasn't talking about *here* -- I was talking about in the real
world.

Here, we're ALL insane, inextricably bound by our passion for flying.

Rec.Aviation is like a world-wide Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, except that
we're all reveling in our drunkenness. And nothing as silly as politics can
separate us in that regard.
