Unbelievable.

What a screwed up mess.

Now you're catching on!

Those 600 pilots aren't looking quite so stupid now, are they?

Well, let's just split the blame in half then, shall we? Perhaps 300 stupid
pilots plus 300 screwed-up controllers? (I'll bet it's more like 590 to 10,
but who knows?)

Either way, we (not "they"), as pilots in command, have a BIG problem, and
we can either fix it, or we can wait for the FAA to fix it for us.

Unlikely. In the past, we heard about it on the news every time a pilot screwed
up in other matters. I think the security agencies behind the ADIZ would make
sure that the media will hear about every time a pilot screws up with it. Since
600 ADIZ violations works out to something around 1 a day, and we hear about
one every few months, I'd bet it's about 590 ATC or NG mistakes versus 10 cases
of pilot error. Or maybe 50 ATC errors, 10 pilot errors, and 540 fabricated
incidences to make the "problem" seem severe.

The actions taken by the New Hampshire Episcopalians (ie. inducting a gay
bishop) are an affront to Christians everywhere. I am just thankful that
the church's founder, Henry VIII, and his wife Catherine of Aragon, and his
wife Anne Boleyn, and his wife Jane Seymour, and his wife Anne of Cleves,
and his wife Katherine Howard, and his wife Catherine Parr are no longer
here to suffer through this assault on traditional Christian marriages.
