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.


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

I'd be willing to bet that the guard's Job Description does NOT include
protecting it with his life.

What's more important, the document or the principles?


The crash of a rare or unique plane diminishes aviation's physical
history.

So What!

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.

Then, of course, it set a couple homes on fire. **** the plane!

You'd be wrong in that.

The document -- no question about it.

indiscriminate shooting?

Hardly. We have, as a nation, glorified those who Died For The Flag.

The flag is even Less important than is the document setting forth the
principles the nation was founded on.

indiscriminate shooting?

I have Never engaged in indiscriminate shooting, save with the twin
M-60's on the helicopter.

Otherwise, I picked my targets quite carefully.

At least that's settled.

At most that's settled.

The rest is not.

The guards are armed and their weapons are live.

The present shrine provides an imposing home. The priceless documents
stand at the center of a semicircle of display cases showing other
important records of the growth of the United States. The Declaration,
the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights stand slightly elevated,
under armed guard, in their bronze and marble shrine.
