First honest thing I've read in this thread. Lift is caused by feathers is


a

known scientific fact and I can prove it .



I hate to get involved in these "what causes lift" threads but this is
nonsense. An ostrich after all, with all it's feathers, CAN'T FLY. I
already stated a couple weeks ago that flight is magic. A well known fact.
Such silliness as "feathers" and "lift demons" is just an attempt to avoid
being burnt at the stake by the fearful masses.

Oh, stop it! Stop it! Stop it! This is all pure nonsense and has
nothing to do with MANNED flight. We all know that it is MONEY that
keeps airplanes in the air. I have a whole stack if bills as proof.

instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
