Geeze. I can understand why the guy who said "so I can become a crazy
person and call them four times a day and demand an explanation"
didn't want to be identified. He **IS** a crazy person.

I'm trying to figure out which is worse: a crazy person (or 50) who panic
when they see some planes, or a newspaper (The Boston Globe) who reports
on
the event and quotes one of the crazy people as if they had a point.

IIRC Boston is in Massachusettes -

If you remember correctly?



The ONLY state McGovern carried in '72

That was a long time ago. Massachusetts also voted for Reagan. Twice.



The state that continuously re-elects Ted 'the bridge just jumped out in
front of me' Kennedy

Love him or hate him, he has a lot of seniority, which is what counts in the
Senate.


The state with one of the HIGHEST tax rates in the nation

Huh? Where did you get that from? The trend in Massachusetts over the past
years has been DECREASING taxes while many other states have raised theirs.
Massachusetts has the 36th highest tax burden in the nation, according to the
independent Tax Foundation. How do you figure that 36 ranks among the highest
in 50 states?????


The state with one of the highest costs of government in the country

According to ....? Where do you get your "facts" from?


A city where the Boston Globe still sells it's bilgewater on a daily basis
etc. etc. etc.

Well the Boston Globe "bilgewater" appears to be a lot more accurate than your
post here. Yeah, Globe is a liberal paper. So what? Compare with New York,
San Francisco, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Washington, Miami, etc etc. Of
course Boston is also a two newspaper town, with papers of different
viewpoints, an increasing rarity across the US.



Seems like there hasn't been much improvement in rational thought in the
last 30+ years.

Your 30+ years of memory is quite conveniently selective.

Once.

Your 24 year memory is pretty convenient, too.

My daughter's response.. she attends UMASS Boston...

snip!


Wow, you're daughter's cool! I hope she sent that to the paper as
well, as it is an excellent response. I'm a little surprised that
there are so many morons in Boston (isn't it supposed to be a super
educated city?). I don't know what's going on out there, but
everywhere else in the country I've seen planes flying around cities.
Perhaps the people complaining weren't really afraid of the
"dangerous" GA biplanes, but rather felt it was a good excuse to shoot
their mouths off.
