Geeze, isn' the FBO in the business of promoting aviation? After all,
isn't that how he makes money?


Some people want to prevent anyone else from making any money off of it. Sounds
like what's going on here.

Right, if only one person is involved there is only one side ... unless
the person has multiple personalities. :-)



There can be two people involved and still be only one side.



I'm sure this is theoretically possible, but ask any police officer who
has interviewed multiple witnesses to anything and never do they have
the same perspective (side).

And I thought you were. I live in the real world, not the theoretical
"Alice in Wonderland" world. In the real world with real people, there
will always be as many sides to a story as there are people involved ...
and sometimes more!

How effective is that for shielding the uninebriated from the daiquiri
guzzlers?

Boycott the FBO. Buy gas and get maintenance at another field.
Send him an anonymous letter that he's going to be boycotted if
the crap continues.


So you think a campaign of disrespectful intimidation will win the
day? Grow up!


What was suggested is in no way disrespectful or intimidating. More on the
order of civil disobedience which is a time honored, centuries old way of
getting a point across.

How does what was suggested by Mr. Winslow respect the concerns of the
FBO?

You have a lot to learn about human nature if you actually believe
that threatening the FBO is going to change his mind? It will only
escalate the negative feelings, and galvanize the FBO and others into
feeling justified in taking punitive action against "renegade" pilots.

Did the felling of the WTC towers and threats of future terrorism
cause the US to retreat? Think about it.

More on the order of civil disobedience which is a time honored,
centuries old way of getting a point across.


Without some history of _rational_, face-to-face discourse, the
disobedience you suggest is tantamount to terrorism.

Talk first. Listen to each side of the argument of each issue.
Suggest creative solutions based on mutual compromise. The side who
first resorts to emotional outbursts or forsakes rational thought
loses.

Not buying gas at an FBO is terrorism? Yea right.

Uninebriated? In Louisiana? YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING !!!

Maybe it's kind of like with aircraft -- "Big Swamp, Small Car" -- type
of scenario... grin

Truthfully, I'm speaking about southern Louisiana, around New
Orleans... Northern Louisiana is *completely* different... Frankly,
it's rather boring up there... All in all, New Orleans is a strange
culture... You have a heavy Catholic influence on one side and the
Mardi Gras / French Quarter attitude on the other side... Of course,
you see the cases where young women are willing to trade views of their
flesh for cheap beads... You also see women walking around nude from
the waste up with their torso airbrushed into a design so that you
don't realize that they're nude initially... That's all fine and dandy
for the younger specimens among them, but when a 60-70+ year old woman
does it, they don't need it airbrushed on them, they need it troweled
on like with stucco... Hey, gravity sucks, ya' know?
