The jokes are tasteless and stupid and do reflect a kind of boneheaded
good-ol'-boyism that infects aviation to an excessive degree.

The howls of protest and cries of "politically correct!" that greeted
your post are illustrative.

Hang in there, Pete.

I forget where I heard this, but I'm pretty sure it was a
radio talk show host. He said something along the lines of,

"If I say something that offends you, that's not *my*
problem. It's *yours*. I'm not the one who is offended".

Well, by that reasoning, everyone who's offended by Pete's criticism should
understand that that's *their* problem, not Pete's.

But of course, that reasoning--like the PC label--is applied very
selectively. The anti-PC crowd seems to believe that it's ok to express
*their* opinions, but anyone who dares to question or criticize the tenets
of right-wing political orthodoxy is offensive and out of line ("feel free
to end your life" rather than voicing an objection--that's how Grumman-581
summarized it elsewhere in this thread).
