Why do you call it a "horrible finish". Nobody got hurt and we got

to
see
a
cool ejection sequence!!

You forgot the little smiley thingy. :-)

But assuming you're not joking, for a moment, there a zillion reasons

to
call it a horrible finish. Hell, just from a taxpayer's standpoint

I'm
****ed that we're out $20 million because the guy couldn't set his

altimeter
correctly.


I am not perturbed by a pilot making an honest mistake and wasting a $20
million airplane. That's a cost of 8 cents per person. There are a bunch

of
thieves running the country, deliberately giving your money to corporate
interests. Now THAT is something to be worried about.


Are you saying that the government should not buy things from

corporations?
They bought that jet from a corporation. They bought its fuel from a
corporation. They bought its replacement from a corporation. They buy

spare
parts for it from corporations. They also bought the pilot's flight suit,
helmet, oxygen hose, ejection seat, and even socks from corporations. It

is
hard to imagine who the government would buy things like that from if not
corporations.

Or do you just have it in for certain corporate interests?

Or does he fail to realize that government PRODUCES nothing.
