A lot of the population lives in non-empty parts of the country, and
that's what they like.

I always figured it was an IQ test...

not flying within the borders of some insignificantly
small European country.

You're trying really hard to join MX in the club of village idiots,
arent't you? What's the purpose of turning to insults once someone
points out you're wrong?

Insults? That European countries are small, geographically?

Sorry, unless the truth hurts, that's hardly an insult.

And I'm still waiting to see evidence that I'm wrong about freedom in
America.

As for the facts: So you cross an international border on the way from
Berlin to Paris. So you file a flight plan. That's it. Big deal. What's
that got to do with your assertion of less freedom? Zip! So the US is a
bigger country than the countries in Europe. What's that got to do
with your assertion of less freedom? Zip!

You (and MX) have stated that European flying is just as free (if not
more free) than in America. I'm telling you that you are wrong. The
fact that you can't fly a paltry 475 miles without being forced to
file a flight plan pretty much proves my case, thank you.

European "freedom" appears to be very selectively applied...

That's pretty funny. Iowa (and the rest of the country) pretty much
did a clean-sweep of the Republicans in the last election.

Not in the last Presidential election.

It's coming. But it won't matter.

Remember: 13 years ago the Republicans were swept into power in a
popular uprising at the polls that was meant to "Clean out the
deadwood in Washington" and "Clean up the corrupt mess."

Now, 13 years later, we're sending the very same corrupt Democrats
back to power, to "Clean up out the deadwood in Washington", and to
"Clean up the corrupt mess".

Do you *really* think the Democratic Machine has changed in 13 years?
Does ANYONE believe that the Ted Kennedys and Hillary Clintons have
changed one iota since 1994?

No, I'm afraid until we have a legitimate third political party in
America, we're stuck with the same old same old. Nothing is going to
change, and it will probably get worse.

I can't really see any difference between Republicans and Democrats.

I think people should vote for individuals, not party lines. Partisan
behavior is one of the hallmarks of decline in a democracy.

No, I'm afraid until we have a legitimate third political party in
America, we're stuck with the same old same old.

It's practically illegal to have any other political parties in the
U.S.

I have not said this. I live in Europe, so I know better.

European "freedom" appears to be very selectively applied...

And Americans seem to be curiously blind to the increasing lack of
freedom in their own country.

Also, regarding picnics. For nine years Mary and I have made it a
habit to fly into little Iowa airports that do NOT have any
attractions nearby, in order to have a picnic on the field. We pack a
picnic basket full of goodies, land at a small, out of the way airport
(there are hundreds of them, so I don't think we'll ever hit them
all), deliver our hotel marketing goodies (brochures, posters, pens,
what-nots), and then throw a blanket down out in the grass and start
eating.

We've met some really nice people that way, and have never been
hassled. It's truly a little piece of Americana, and we love doing
it.

Well, isn't that special. Unfortunately much of America doesn't work
that way.


Except for the large airports, where there isn't any grass to do this
anyways, name one airport where you couldn't do this.




You've simply GOT to stop getting your news from blogs, Anthony. They
do not tell the truth about freedom in America.

You've got to get out of Iowa sometime. By the time the loss of
freedom reaches you, it will be too late.


Jay's 100% right.

Jay, (and everyone else) something you wrote makes me want to post a little
info, and although it can be classified as Politically Correct BS, I think
that once you think about it, you will agree that it has merit, and you
might want to at least try to change.

I've been fairly active with the foreign exchange program here, and have had
one South American student stay with me, and have know some of the other
South American exchange students.

They have pointed out that we citizens of the U.S. call ourselves Americans,
as if we are the only ones who should be using that expression, and we use
it as an expression of our nationality.

They are also Americans, whether they are from Canada, Mexico, Argentina,
Brazil, or wherever.

So, be accurate and use from "The United States" instead of "Americans."

I lived in the Great American Southwest, right near a Class B.

I live in the Great American Southwest, *IN* a Class B.

Any time we'd like!

You're lucky.

Damn right I am. The Aviation authority is even generous enough
to pipe ATC through terrestial FM radio; even at the 2 underlying Class
D airports at that.

With Iran promising to build 3000 centrifuges and North Korea already having
at least 1 partially successful test, I'd say it's getting a lot more real
than it should be.

But, oh yeah, Eat-my-dick-ajad and that freak haired shrimp over in North
Korea are rational and reasonable people. You're right. What was I
thinking.

Except that, when you were a kid, the threat was real.
