![]() "David Hill" wrote in message ... Jay Honeck wrote: 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.) |

IMHO, "my" Republican Party -- the "Alex Keaton Conservtive Party" of the 1980s-- has withered and died under the acidic influence of the Religious Right. 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... ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

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). |

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. -- Dan C172RG at BFM |
