There is a technique in debates and police
interrogations---good cop-bad cop or Devil's advocate. I
may not actually suggest with a 100% personal conviction all
that I say on these groups. It is up to the reader to
consider and decide if what I say has merit.
In any case, effective action is what is needed in DC. It
is like flying a twin with 4 fuel tanks, plus tip tanks
STC'd. The 20 gallon mains and the 40 gallon aux tanks,
plus the 15 gallon tips add up to 150 gallons. But you have
to burn the mains down to less than 1/2 before you switch to
the aux tanks, because the fuel return is only to the mains.
You have to run the aux fuel for 1 hour and then go back to
the mains for an hour to make room for more return fuel.
Then you run the aux an hour and go back to the mains and
also turn the tip transfer pump on which sends fuel to the
aux.
You also must use the aux tanks only in straight and level
flight and all take-offs and landings are to be on the
mains. And then there is cross-feed.
Maybe international policy isn't that hard to do, see
airplane talk.

| Hey -- you're the one whining about leaving the group --
not me. I own

aviation

arrogance of the
| highest order -- but it's what we've all come to expect
from you.
|
| Furthermore, I don't find MXMANIAC's posts to be
troublesome in the
| least, unlike some of the more sanctimonious members of
this group.
| For people to be expending energy trying to ostracize the
guy is, IMHO,
| silly and wrong.
|
| I do, however, find his posts to be boring. I therefore
avoid them --
| as I would suggest you avoid this thread, since you find
it so
| abhorrent.
|
| You and your self-righteous red-neck friends, especially
Macklin, now
| starting the war-mongering again make me sick. You're
all that's wrong
| with the US these days condensed in a few people. Too
bad that the
| percentage of your type is so high in the US pilot
population. It
| poisons GA.
|
| With regards to North Korea, I haven't advocated doing
anything -- I've
| only asked the question of what we SHOULD do, especially
with regard to
| air power. (AKA: "Piloting") I *do* find our lack of
action surprising,
| given the magnitude of the event, but I fully understand
the restraint
| the US has shown thus far. It's a real can of worms, and
there are no
| easy solutions.
|
| BTW: I disagree with much of Mr. Macklin's proposed
solution(s) to the
| North Korea problem -- but I would fight to the death for
his right to
| state them. This is called "Freedom of Speech", a basic
right with
| which you are apparently unfamiliar. It's something we
Americans have
| by birthright, thanks to our forefathers being willing to
confront --
| and defeat -- tyrants and demagogues like Kim Jong Il.
|
| Thomas, I know you've grown up in a different, more
cocooned reality,
| so I'm prepared to forgive your ignorance of how the world
really works
| -- after all, never having to carry your weight in world
affairs must
| surely do that to a people -- but please refrain from
"correcting"
| those of us who live in the country that is directly
responsible for
| your cushy free ride.
|
| It's unbecoming.
