Vote, people!

I voted. My guess is since the vote ain't going their way it will be pulled
from the online story shortly.

Also someone should have a little discussion with Beau Guest, who it says
runs an aircraft painting business at Leesburg. Seems as though he's
stabbing
us in the back and playing into the hands of the media scum.

My guess is, that even the negative votes serve as evidence that the
TV station's story generated public interest, and will boost their
ratings. :-(

Running 1230 against (85%) vs. 222 for (15%).

With journalism of this quality it's no surprise that 3/4 ths of America
doesn't have a clue...

I doubt that it was any better before ...

As opposed to, say, Austrians?

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University representative Richard Theokas.....

"Had that person's intent been to load it up with some plastic
explosives
and go run it into a federal building or something like that, they might
have been able to do that," Theokas said.

What does he think this statement would accomplish? I think
Embry-Riddle
should find someone that thinks before they speak.

What makes you think they even talked to Theokas? They made up everything
else out of whole cloth, why not the quote?



Well I guess I don't know much about journalism, lol, you are probably
right.

No doubt having a huge population means that the U.S. also has a large
number of ignoramuses. People who can't find Austria on a map of the world
are common here, not only because they are ignorant, but because Austria is
irrelevant.

America has accepted your poor, wretched and down-trodden for over 225
years, so the results were inevitable. My family was part of that exodus,
some 160 years ago. It wasn't until my generation that we were able to
attend college, so it took a while for enlightenment to reach the huddled
masses.

But it did come.

That same huge population, however, also means that the U.S. has far more
highly educated, highly informed people than Austria has people.

but Jay, I suspect some will point out that not all college
educations lead to enlightenment. Is it difficult to
find courses that "teach" the students some really strange
ideas? ;-)

Agreed.

But that's why I'm a (rare) proponent of a liberal arts education. The
broader (some might say "more useless" :-) education of a liberal arts
degree goes a long way toward teaching one to think, study, and learn.

And that, in the end, is all you can really hope to achieve in college.

But over the last thirty years or so a liberal arts "education" has
increasingly taught students to "think" only one way.
