Bullying desguised (badly) as precaution
Orville: You are right, as usual. Next time you see the ant floating down
the river yelling, "Open the drawbridge," just think of your favorite little ditty: "Oh I wish I were an Oscar Meyer Wiener...." |

Bullying desguised (badly) as precaution
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............... Jester: "He won't engage." Viper: "Keep sending him up..." Jay: "Nah..." I tried engaging him, and got...no answer. It's clear that Skylune is not interested in an intelligent conversation, but prefers to roll the proverbial hand grenade down the church pew... It's too bad, cuz he/she's (occasionally) got a good sense of humor. I suspect we'd probably all like him/her well enough, over a beer. I, like you, have little tolerance for ignorance. I see you gave it a shot though Oh, well. This is Usenet, so we've got to be thick-skinned enough to put up with the occasional troll. Eventually we (or he/she) will tire of the game, and no one will respond anymore. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

So much for the intellectual view point of a New Yawker about midwest corn
farming. "Intellectual" and "New Yorker" don't belong in the same sentence, Jim. You should know that by now... ;-) (Wow -- 9/11 really *must* be becoming ancient history, if it feels okay to make fun of New Yorkers again...) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Thank you for the correction, and I apologize for the vast
oversimplification of farming subsidies. Your take on government subsidies (opposed to) does raise some interesting issues though.... ;-) |

I like most of the pilots too. Really. For once I am not kidding
around.... I appreciate the maverick streak, stubborness, sticktoitiveness, etc. that you guys have. All good traits IMO. Also, your willingness to manage risk to pursue what you love. Ironically, all this "trolling" here has made me think seriously about re-starting my training for PPL. Now that I have time, I might just do it!! Maybe I'll see you in Oshkosh. I'll be the guy with the "Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms - should be a convenience store" T-shirt on. |

"Skylune" wrote in message lkaboutaviation.com... 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. New York.... Isn't that the city that had to be bailed out like a Kennedy several years back? |

He has? That Skylune is a real jerk, a total loser who is too cowardly
and unskilled to get his PPL. But maybe that's his impostor doing the posting. Who can be sure of anything these days? And, what's with his disdain of Phil Boyer? What has Boyer ever done to hurt him? I just don't get it... |

On a large scale, they have made it impossible to raise corn and not take
the subsidy. Not taking the subsidy would guarantee bankruptcy for individual farmers, they simply couldn't afford to loose that much money per acre. If ALL the farmers could refuse it, once the over supply of corn was consumed, it would be a different story. But trying to organize farmers is about what I think it would be like to organize New Yorkers. Jim "Skylune" wrote in message lkaboutaviation.com...
