Reading Scet's post below, I must saw that I thought differently too. I

had

seen some of your conservative views (especially after 9/11), and so was

all
the

more surprised by your post. I guess conservative, and religious don't


necessarily go in the same sentence! :-) What do you know - you learn
something new everyday!

Which is why we desperately need a third political party in the U.S..

IMHO,
"my" Republican Party -- the "Alex Keaton Conservtive Party" of the

1980s--
has withered and died under the acidic influence of the Religious Right.


We've got a third party already -- The Libertarian Party.
http://www.libertarianism.com/

When I was young and idealistic, I swore I would never vote a straight
party ticket, that I would always vote for or against individuals. Now
that I'm old and cynical, if there's a Libertarian running, I vote for
him/her.


Unfortunately, the Libertarian Party comes across as a bunch of overgrown
adolescents, and the anarchist wing really destroys their credibility.

And then there's the claim that stock market results lag behind what
presidents do, enabling each party to claim credit or pass blame for
what happens on a president's watch, depending on whether or not the
argument suits them.


Ah, so you agree with me.

Some times it lags 9waiting to see what REALLY will happen; other times it
leads (when the pump priming, etc., runs out.)

Well, you can find them in Levitticus. There are actually something like

116
commandments.


Actually, it started out as 15 Commandments, but Moses stumbled while coming
down from the mount....

Worse, Republicans are no longer fiscally conservative by any stretch of

the
imagination.


So it seems. It is looking more and more that they are a single issue
(religion) party. I was reading recently how stock markets always do

better
under DEMOCRATIC administrations.


When the stock market crash in 1929 (from 287), how long (under Democratic
administrations) did it take to reacquire that 1929 level? How long until it
achieved the level adjusted for inflation?

I'm trying to beat that by flying my own Piper Cub (65 kt), but I prefer
not to face the reality of the costs head on.
Not being a proselytiser doesn't prevent one from being a procrastinator.

Ah, a true aircraft owner.

As with so many things, sometimes it's best not to think about it... ;-)

I never got taught that in grammar. "He" is only capitalized if it's

the
first word of a sentence or in a title.


Or if one is referring to General Robert E. Lee....



South's gonna do it again!

That'll make em 0-2. g


More likely is the next Civil War will be East vs. West (except Kalifornia).

Flying here is still feasible and the twr people speak English.


So is flying just "feasible"? Or is it actually "affordable"?

It's affeasible.

My goodness, Jay. Get a grip.


Discussing whacko pilots isn't appropriate in a piloting
newsgroup?


They hardly seemed like "whacko" pilots from your description. They
seemed like sincere individuals with a message they thought they

should
share with you.


Your turn to get a grip, Larry. You could say exactly the same thing
about a group of neo-nazi skinheads. "Sincerity" is no excuse for such
rude, boorish behavior.

I'm sincerely afraid to share the airspace with guys who
think someone Else is steering...


Then you really should quit flying.


Oh, man. People who don't believe God controls their actions shouldn't
fly? You're starting to sound a little creepy.
