So it seems. It is looking more and more that they are a single issue

under DEMOCRATIC administrations. Weird, huh?

I don't see how that can be useful. Kennedy was the kind of fiscal
Democrat Republicans love to quote about tax cuts. Clinton was much
more of a Centrist, taking credit for the things he liked from his
Republican Congresses. Etc.

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.

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....

The problem isn't the billions by themselves, or that the billions are
abusive. On their own, as you note, they're not.

Unfotunately, as someone else wrote, those beliefs are a vulnerability in
the billions by which the few abusers can manipulate those billions into
killing.

To disarm those few, we innoculate the billions. It's how we go after any
disease.

Ah, so you agree with me.

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

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

I meant that the regulations and the various zones hadn't got us fun
pilots yet.

Well, that's another debate. Actually one for the proselytisers of the
microlights-vs-certified-planes sort.
Flying (a certified plane) is more expensive than in the States, due to
the cost of gas, but tends to be cheaper than in most other European
countries, thanks to the number or non-profit airclubs.
Typically, an hour in a 180 hp Robin aircraft (120 kt) should cost
between 100 and 130 euros.
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.
