I cannot wait for the Chinese Clones like they did with Chevy Spark and is
clone the Chery QQ and now a few other vehicles and the all so popular
Harley Davidson.

Have you ever seen how many new "Genuine Harley" parts are made in
China?

They don't have to clone it, they build much of the real thing! G

Eighty percent of U.S. prisoners are in prison on drug charges.

I brownsed the gallery. That's got to be the ugilest Cessna ever.

I agree. Ugly inside and out. Then again, the other LSAs such as
Tecnam and Remos are all pretty ugly as well. Sort of look like bugs.

An outstanding example of Anthony's work. That one didn't even make the needle twitch on
the Relevance-O-Meter.

I would usually avoid participating in such off topic discussion.
But, your statement is so stupid it's not even funny.

Gitmo is for all intents and purposes a prison, inhabitants are not
free to leave, they are being held prisoner.

Gitmo is for all intents and purposes part of the US, even if it is an
occupied territory in Cuba, the US isn't about to give it up, the US
isn't about to let Cuba have anything to do with Guantanamo Bay again,
ever, the US asserts all control over that piece of land and
facilities on it, the US makes the rules in Guantanamo Bay, not any
other nation. It's a US territory.

Therefore, Gitmo most certainly IS a US Prison, it's a place holding
prisoners in a territory of the US, a US Prison.

As for the prisoners being "enemy combatants" I might well remind you
that there has been no fair and open trial accorded the majority of
the prisoners, and more so, a number of prisoners have been released,
free to go, innocent of implied crime, sometimes after YEARS of being
held prisoner at Gitmo.

Gitmo is a disgrace to the US. To try and justify it by any means is
ludicrous.

I don't understand why everyone is getting their panties all in a
twist over this. Is there any facts that prove that the Chinese
company that Cessna has chosen, has had problems manufacturing planes
in the past? It says in the article that this company has been
manufacturing planes for other IAI, Boeing, and other plane makers. Do
those planes fly safely? It seems for such emotional opinions to
exist, there surely must be equally power facts to back them up?

I wonder if they will use lead paint.


It's funny people complains about lead paint here where defending the
use of leaded fuel. Don't forget that tetraethyl lead hasn't been
made in U.S. in years and China might be the only supplier of TEL in
our fuel :-)

Gig601XLBuilder,

Gitmo isn't a US prison.


Sure. Being in Cuba and all, I think Castro runs it, doesn't he? And of
course the people in there are free to leave, right? So it can't be a
prison, right?

You can be as right-wing as you want to be, but you can't possibly
defend Gitmo. It's everything the US never ever wanted to be (at least
that's what I still hope).

I don't know if funny is the word I'd use. Until the advent of unleaded
fuels, the greatest environmental exposure to lead in developed nations was
the lead in fuel. In vivo lead levels have declined considerably since
unleaded fuels became widespread, but aviation fuels for piston engines still
contain lead, so it's entirely plausible that aviators are still being exposed
to lead regularly via this route.

As big an embarrasment as Gitmo may be to you and many more Americans, I
don't thnk it reflects on your nation. It is simply an artifact of an
outrageous administration. Even many staunch republicans get a little antzy
at the questionable activities and actions of Bush's minions. He hasn't
substantianally changed your country and I'm confident the next
administration will be a little more civil. The bigger war is saving the
middle class, and I don't think Shrubs bunch has any clue how to do it. When
the working guy has no money to fly, how will the EAA fare then? How will
Cessna fare?
