4th July Independence Day Message to the US
Uh folks,
This is about soaring, right? The glider wasn't invented in the U.S.A. -- I think the towplane might have been, depending on which revisionist historian you believe... I'm taking a guess here that (some of) the Brits are trying to **** on our parade because two hundred thirty years ago, the sorely mistreated colonials declared independence from England (yeah, I guess we should give them credit for not doing an Abu Grahaeb back then). A happy 4th of July to those who are liberal, conservative (or neither) and enjoy the right to dissent -- either based on truth, folley, rumor or misinformation -- but nonetheless, allowed to dissent without fear of losing life, limb, family or property. The entire world should be so fortunate, and fortunate to be as generous a nation, privately if not publicly. Happy Birthday, U.S.A.! Perhaps not a perfect system, but far better than most. Happy thermals to all -- even those that despise us, mock us and are jealous of us, because we are generous, with a long history of generosity that is shamefully and convienently ignored. And it sounds as if the exception is taken to be rule, and one bad apple is used to justify wasting the efforts of those which are very good. ....which reminds me of my soaring...couldn't thermal worth a damn last flight, so should I sell the glider? Nah, it was born around the fourth of July in Elmira, New York, albeit much less than 230 years ago. Happy Independence Day to U.S. Soaring Pilots! -Pete Shawn wrote: Brian Glick wrote: that is what all you LIBERALS say.. No actually, we don't. Clean out your ears. |

jealous of us, because we are generous, with a long history of generosity that is shamefully and convienently ignored. Compared to most developed countries in Europe, our "generosity" is far less on a per capita basis. Most countries, at this point, would prefer we took our generosity and UN veto capability and stuffed it in a very dark place. |

Well at least we generally ran the British Empire in
a reasonably civilised manner, although I admit there were a few blips in India. Most of our former colonies, with the exception of yourselves, have remained voluntarily in an organisation called the 'British Commonwealth' and accept our Queen as nominal Head of State. These include Canada, Australia, New Zealand and several of the West Indian islands. I would suggest that these are amongst the most civilised countries in the World. The Gents below have only confirmed our view of Americans as being loud, arrogant and rude! OK, I know most of you are very nice. On the subject of the PW-5, I am sure that it is very nicely designed within the parameters set down. I haven't flown one, but I have flown the rival 'World Class' contender, the Russian ME7 and that was quite nice and easy to fly, and at least it looked like a mini sailplane. The performance was about K6E, but with a greater efficient speed range. I am not sure that I would be that encouraged to fly either type cross-country, at least not in UK conditions. The World Class is a good idea, but needs a higher performance design. The politics are starting to impinge on my flying, as UK taxation has been significantly increased by stealth (standard 'New Labour' tactic) to pay for armies of occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan. The cost of petrol and hence travel has also increased to record levels. Wasn't one of the objectives of the Iraq War to stop this happening?

Golly Gee! If they tax you out of flying, maybe you'll lose interest
here and not bother us anymore... there's something to aspire to... You can clean up your version of history all you want, but emperialism is emperialism, and it doesn't come about without the blood of innocents. What an arrogant ass you are. What's more rude than to kick someone in the middle of a celebration. Thankfully, we got out of the "British Commonwealth" business a long time ago.

SNIP Why ? - are you that poor a pilot that you need more performance to do cross countries ? Lots of us flew K6's, Dart 17's etc with that sort of performance and got all our diamonds - and in the UK ! DB |
