Yeah.

And just like some people whose parent can afford to buy them
university educations and get them admitted through legacy programs
and buy them advanced degrees with family connections and they also
are ill-equipped to handle many of the jobs they get, as well.

Like, for example chairmen of small oil companies, and sometimes even
president.

No doubt about it. So, are you suggest that makes hiring substandard controllers
somehow okay?

Absolutely not.

I'm saying that it we can tolerate incompetence in the highest levels
of government, we should be able to overcome a bad controller or two.

In fact I know of no organization, government or private, that does
not have its share of incompetents.

And a whole bunch of them are straight and white.

I already defended gays, so I won't bother to repeat myself.

You're right, a bad controller or two can have little adverse effect if there are
sufficent competent, qualified folks to keep them at bay (or, do their job for them).
But, when that is no longer possible because it becomes a lot more than "a bad
controller or two" then you have them landing airplanes on top of another, as happened
at LAX with the commuter and US Air. That person had gained a horrible reputation at
Aspen prior to transferring to LAX. The person got "retrained" and is still a time
bomb.

And both are steering us straight to a disaster!

Where would have Kerry steered us?
UN control of our economy??

Good heavens, you're right. No foreign nation has any impact at all on the
US Economy. Except perhaps the ones who have oil.

Screw them all!
