Frankly, I don't have a problem with people holding as precious objects
like the P-51. They should recognize the irrationality and futility of
doing so, however (though, of course most probably do not).

Well, if we're to go down that philosophical sinkhole, you had better be
prepared to have all of your best-loved, most cherished beliefs and ideals
shattered.

Taken over geologic time, everything is dust in the wind. That doesn't mean
we shouldn't strive for some semblance of permanence and order -- it only
means that we are, inevitably, finite.

For the purpose of sanity, however, most of us choose to think in historic,
not real, time. While this may not be 100% truthful, it is neither
irrational nor futile.

Thus, we must preserve the Mustangs!
