Yeah, we Know.

Ohferchrissakes, Dosser!

What are you On about this time?

The Hawker Hunter is a lovely aircraft, is it not? That one won't be
replaced any time soon, certainly.

Yep. And your Very First Thought was for the aircraft. You were the first
to post Anything and made no mention whatsoever about the pilot or the risk
to others. They hadn't even put out the fires and searched the area for
victims before you were Moaning about a chunk of metal. It sorta fits with
your notions of Right and Wrong - or lack of same.

That is correct.

After the crash, the pilot was dead. No one else was hurt.

What would the point have been?

Heh!

Sometimes when you get on your Moral High Horse, you're more
entertaining than usual, Dosser.

Hold a cold wet cloth under your nose, and the nosebleed should end
within minutes.

No, correct.

And I'm right.

You just don't give a **** about people. I doubt you'd have had any
objections to firing into a crowd if ordered.

Thanks "gatt". Please don't do that again.

*grin*

The threat to or.politics. and alt.culture.oregon is substantial, too. I'm
an equal-opportunity cross-poster.

I'll try to honor your request in the future. Y'all have a great weekend!

People come and people go.

The aircraft is a loss to History.

What's the crowd doing? What is the threat assessment?

Nothing that you know, but your superiors say it's OK.

Nope. I cared about the plane, when it was still intact. The scrap
metal is just now so much junk.

Hardly the case. If I'm firing at a crowd that, for example, coming
to lynch you and your family, I'm at the shooting end of the firearms
involved. I'd just plain Have to know what the crowd is up to, yes?

You, otoh, would make the Fine Moral Distinction, preformed, that
since shooting into a crowd is Always morally objectionable, letting
the crowd lynch you and your family would be Just Fine with you.

See how that works?

Circumstances differ, and the ways in which they differ alter the
decisions to be taken. Firing into a crowd is Not always morally
objectionable. Nor, under some circumstances, would even such a
Morally Upstanding person as your own glorious self find it so.

What's more important to the average American? The Declaration of
Independence or the guard standing near it protecting it with his life?

The crash of a rare or unique plane diminishes aviation's physical history.
If the Spirit of St. Louis fell off its cables and crushed a tourist
standing under it, America would not remember the name of the tourist, but
they would remember that the Spirit of St. Louis had fallen from the
ceiling.

I don't saying so slights the value of the victims lives at all. There's
nothing the pilot could have done to save himself but not fly that day.
