Yes, the denialist go against the vast evidence and science that makes it clearly beyond reasonable doubtto a thinking person that human induced CO2
is causing rapid unnatural climate change, to argue otherwise is only a result of following deluded political propaganda. As such, I have no respect for the intellect of the dumb as bowling ball denialist trash. |

Despite the thread drift from my original post, I will weigh in on the climate change comments.
Using perjorative terms for climate change proponents or skeptics convinces no-one. Yes, some proponents can be evangelical in their zeal and many skeptics may well have a hidden agenda linked to the fossil-fuel industry. Calling them names is unhelpful. I have been gently skeptical of some climate change claims, especially those that are based on unverified models, some of which rely on speculative feedback mechanisms. In my view, there are just too many variables in weather and climate systems to enable accurate predictions to be made far ahead. Some of these variables may have positive feedback on warming, some negative, and some we don’t understand them very well at all. Melting polar ice, for example, could interrupt present-day ocean currents, which could be very interesting, especially for Western Europe. Also, while atmospheric temperature rise has tracked carbon dioxide levels, correlation alone does not prove causation. It is not impossible that some third variable could be involved. This could also be linked to industrial activity, but what if it is methane emissions or deforestation, for example, rather than carbon dioxide? The fix might be quite different from those most currently popular. In any event , we humans have not been good stewards of the planet and I am sure we will never agree on any unified action to clear up the mess we have made. Mike |

Also, since a glider pilot license doesn't require a medical, it may explain a higher incidence of the condition among glider pilots. The condition may additionally be age, gender and ethnicity related, and therefore linked to both grumpy old man disease and angry white male disease, but further studies need to be performed. My main question is: Does spewing vitriolic personal insults make the condition better or worse? I'm betting on the latter. Andy |

This has been a test of the Soaring Promotional Marketing System. This was only a test. If this had been an actual attempt to promote Soaring to the general public, you would all be told where to go and what to do.

Both Bob and Mike must be dumb as bowling balls for not agreeing
wholeheartedly with CQ AKA Mike Standish (according to his return address). [sarcasm off]Â* As Buggs Bunny once famously said, "What a maroon!"

Yes, bugs would say maroon...... real live peeps may say moron.
Is moreon better than more off? LOL...... Way too many factors. Self evaulate sorta at odds end. Of course we are the best and healthy! Maybe listen to others, "Dude, really, hang it the frig up!". I am a, "flew a few thousand hours, many types, ex CFIG, many off airport landings with no real damage, WTF you saying I am not safe!!!!" I hope I still Frikkin listen! I remember watching a Dr in a -24 roll off the south end of HHSC quite a long time ago. Dude, a ASW had great brakes, period. He was self insured since he had broken too much stuff. Basically, many peeps said, find something else to do! Insurance basically said, what is ship value? You pay that premium every year since we believe you will trash it! Not sure if he still flies. Yes, even a great medical exam for a commercial aircarrier may not mean your health is good. You could get a great checkup and die on the way to your car. |
