How many pilots have been forced to lay face down on the ground and
submit to law enforcement's manacles solely as a result of flying
within 38 miles of our nation's capital?


Beats me, but that wasn't the claim.


But that's what's occurring as a result of the overreacting by the
government and the fear of our fellow Americans.

Happy Fourth indeed. :-(

If Larry writes back:

"Right. The truly superior don't need to act superior; their superiority is
tacitly apparent. It is those who feel inferior who need to constantly
assert their pseudo superiority."

"If it's not too presumptuous, I would suspect that intelligence matching or
exceeding yours, the ability to command an income adequate to support a
family, and the desire for children might also be veiled longings buried
beneath the conscious."

....I'm pulling a Stephen King in "Creepshow" (1982)

You know, I resisted the urge to respond with, "Stick around a while.
There's still time to change your mind."

But it looks like I didn't, anyway! g

LOL! I've been lurking and sometimes posting for well over five years.
I'm sure he ended up kill filed at some point (ok, so a lot of people
had), but a recent computer crashed wiped all that out. g

Yep. I think I am about to be in the same place. :-((

I give everyone a new chance at life, every once-in-a-while. Funny, how
most of them go back in, within the first week, or two.

No, no, no. Don't kill-file Larry.

Read him. Try to understand him ...understanding that he has his (inspired?
in love?) "up" months, and his more ...serious, somber, literal, "not so up"
months. He ebbs and he flows over time.

The thing I like about Larry is - you can seldom, if ever, accuse him of
"drinking the Kool-Aid." He's a thinker, well, maybe more of a data
analyzer, ...not a believer or a follower.

Interesting "Drinking The Kool-Aid" history - since I was just reading about
Ken Kesey's bus, Furthur. Kesey wrote One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest -
which, as a movie in 1975, earned 5 Academy Awards, including Best Picture.


Montblack
"The movie [One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest] was the first to win all five
major Academy Awards since It Happened One Night in 1934. This
accomplishment was not repeated until 1991, with The Silence of the Lambs."

I haven't. My statement was simply saying that probably everyone
posting here has been in mine at one point in time. g

And here I only associated it with Jim Jones...

Have you ever considered dwelling in the real world instead of the
realm of fiction? Fictional accounts are so vastly inferior to real
life events, that I find them (and hence most of your cinematic
references) unworthy of notice.

I paint from a different palette than you - that's all. In the end, it's
what sticks to the wall that counts.

The Odd couple (1968)
Oscar Madison: Now kindly remove that spaghetti from my poker table.
[Felix laughs]
Oscar Madison: The hell's so funny?
Felix Ungar: It's not spaghetti, it's linguini.
[Oscar picks up the linguini and hurls it against the kitchen wall]
Oscar Madison: Now it's garbage.
