You want to stop a bully? Punch him in the nose. Keep hurting him, until
the cost to him is too high.

Not entirely true, Jim. They were air-burst bombs *in order that*
there would be a minimum of radioactive debris.

They were air bursts because the shock wave spread out, maximizing damage.

That's not what Leslie Groves said at the time. Sorry. History is what
is is.

Not really. If the price of getting your own nuclear arsenal is a
nuclear attack, Iran wouldn't have many followers.

(That's not to say it's a great idea, or a likely scenario.)

I also find it intriguing that Second Amendment proponents at home, are
*not* "Second Amendment proponents" on the world stage. "It's okay to have
a gun, but only for me and my friends, and I am not so sure about the
friends".

I really really try to stay out of the whole political morass, but
you've got me seriously puzzled with this one.

You've just perfectly described the views of not only Handguns Inc,
the most vocal "liberal" (the common definition, not mine) Congress
critters & their lackeys/leash-holders, as well as the UN.

I guess my defintion of "Second Amendment proponent" is slightly
different than yours. Maybe we can agree to disagree.

One of my personal all-time favorites was Rosie O's diatribe against
personal ownership of firearms while collecting some serious coin from
one of the largest US retailers of same.

Not quite right: most western European countries have the same position
that the United States has on the matter.

Correction: the corporations are the masters, not the citizens. Take a
look at some of the recent stuff going through US legislation and follow
the money from the person proposing it. I also don't see the US Govt.
listening on things like the awful PATRIOT act either.

Well actually back in '79 Iran did attack US territory. We just failed to

actually, wasn't there a 'rescue operation' that failed miserably?
that looks like a response to me, even if the outcome is not what
you might have wished.

No that was a rescue operation. An appropriate response to an act of war
would have been, well, war.

And what are corporations? Large groups of people, each with a vote.

I'm always amused by people who use the word "corporation" in a
perjorative way. There are very few structures in the world more
democratic than a corporation -- and they are by FAR preferable to sole
proprietorships.

The problem with corporations is that they embody control of large
amounts of capital by small amounts of people, said capital being easily
used to unduly influence government against large amounts of other people.

let's start flaming? oh well, I'd love to *ggggg*
you shouldn't train students or repair aircraft with YOUR mindset ... I'd
freak out knowing that somebody who want's to nuke other human beings is
teaching to survive (flying an aircraft).



Of course you are correct, but maniac CFIs are not uncommon. I trained
(briefly) with one.

I wonder if recreational aviation will still be sailing happily around if
them nukes start flying! Do the preflight, the run up, take off, lean
out the mixture, then, when at cruising altitude, fire up the good old
Randy Newman song, "Political Science":

No one likes us-I don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one and see what happens

We give them money-but are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us-so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them

Asia's crowded and Europe's too old
Africa is far too hot
And Canada's too cold
And South America stole our name
Let's drop the big one
There'll be no one left to blame us

We'll save Australia
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an All American amusement park there
They got surfin', too

Boom goes London and boom Paris
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free
You'll wear a Japanese kimono
And there'll be Italian shoes for me

They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now
Let's drop the big one now
