ups.com... snip I wonder how many kids who could have grown up into pilots have been chased away by this slug and others like him. AJ Even worse, I wonder how many kids watched him, admired him, and want to grow up to be like HIM? Grand Theft Auto meet baton wielding Trailer Trash Mall Cop Jim |

Jay: I hope you are right about anti GA activists being born every minute.
Where did you get the statistics to verify this statement? I would like it for future reference. In answer to your (rhetorical) question, it would be nice if GA pilots pursued these misguided attempts at enviornmentalism, rather than polluting the skies and wasting gas in a desperate attempt to obtain a hamburger. |

At least you take some responsibility for tresspassing and the result: ultimate closure of the airport. latest scoop! Meigs was closed because Johnathan once tried to enter the terminal Has the line, "We are pilots" worked in other situations, like when you are pulled over in your car? when asked while driving my car on airport property (to get to an aircraft) it kind of work pretty well actually. --Sylvain |

In Chicago a cop being sent to airport duty is worse than being fired. It's where they send all the screw-ups. It's cheaper and easier than fighting the union to get them fired. whaow, they really do care about airport security over there! :-) --Sylvain |

"Jay Honeck" wrote in message oups.com... This forum is a great source of information and, yes!, entertainment for me in my quest to SAVE THE WORLD from GA. Thus proving that there really *is* one born every minute. Wouldn't it be nice if all the nut jobs restricted themselves to saving the world for snail darters, red tailed owls, and hump-back whales? Hey Jay, I thought you were going to draw him out using understanding, and kindness............... I, like you, have little tolerance for ignorance. I see you gave it a shot though Allen |

That midwest sissy crap will never work on Skylune. I am from New Yawk,
and think everything east of the Hudson is an intellectual and environmental wasteland, best relegated to small planes, crappy little hotels, farmers whose John Deere caps are curved from peering into their mailboxes each morning to see if their government subsidy checks to keep corn out of production have arrived, etc. |

How do you feel about west of the Hudson?

In article
outaviation.com, "Skylune" plucked another fig (He is the Fig Plucker's son), pulled a booger from his nose and scrawled: That midwest sissy crap will never work on Skylune. I am from New Yawk, and think everything east of the Hudson is an intellectual and environmental wasteland, best relegated to small planes, crappy little hotels, farmers whose John Deere caps are curved from peering into their mailboxes each morning to see if their government subsidy checks to keep corn out of production have arrived, etc. Scrawled the way we would expect from a truly arrogant, selfish, fatuous ignoramus! The "'Loon" reminds me of an ant floating down the river, yelling, "Open the drawbridge!" He has already admitted his aspiration of becoming an "Oscar Meyer" wiener, but, sadly, is not good enough to be one; neither is he good enough to finish pilot training. Instead, he chooses to disparage and harm the pilots whom he could never hope to equal. The term "schadenfreude" fits him perfectly. |

LOL. West, WEST!!! I meant west!!! Anyway, you know I'm in the process
of being "outta dare" to move to Cow Hampshire, where lots of corn is grown. Did you know that cornfields provide an excellent alternative for "off runway" landings? I only found this out today! |

No John Deere's here... not a single one.
And the government doesn't pay us NOT to produce corn. They pay us the difference between the daily market price and the government posted price up to a maximum of $40,000 per year total. They also pay a loan deficiency payment based on the per bushel price of corn that they would loan using your corn as collateral vs. the actual market price, up to a maximum of $65,000 total for the crop year. So, in fact, they pay us TO produce corn, so much so, that the real market for corn is an abysmal $1.35 per bushel. Add the $105,000 we'll get from Uncle Sam for the 180,000 bushels we grew, and we get an average price of $1.93 per bushel. Cost of production is over $2.00, so because of Uncle Sam we only loose $0.07 per bu or about $12,600 on our corn crop. Why grow it to loose money you ask? It's like insurance for your land. Good crop rotation demands that you sometimes grow worthless crops to preserve and improve your land for the crops that you can make a living growing. Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with government subsidies, they just make the national market worse. The government subsidizes corn for several reasons. Primary is the vote. #2 is to supply the nation with cheap food. #3 is to have a sufficient commodity base available for export (if this country ever decides to export anything again). #4 to keep the land values and the tax base up. So much for the intellectual view point of a New Yawker about midwest corn farming. Jim |
