Maybe it's the lousy weather and everyone is just ****ed off that they are
stuck inside.

Now that you mention it, conditions here are 1/4 mile with indefinite
ceiling, and our flight to the avionics shop today is cancelled.
So...here I am!

I've noticed that no matter what you post about lately, the
conversation eventually turns into "Bush is an idiot" and "the only
good Muslim is a dead Muslim". Thread drift lately is just crazy.

I've come up with a new theory about thread drift, BTW. Think about it
like a Quija board -- everything appears mystical and inexplicable, yet
results are related to what people are already thinking when they sit
down at the board. It's the same here.

For example, when Hotze and Borchardt sit down at their keyboard, they
may have just got through watching another European media attack on
President Bush and Americans -- so they like to throw in a few parting
shots at him and us, no matter *what* the thread is about.

Gary is hair-trigger loaded regarding the gay rights agenda -- so he
tends to head in that direction, regardless of topic. Several people
are worried about the election results, so off in that direction we go.


End result: A thread about getting thrown out of an FBO ends up
arguing about the homosexual agenda, and nuking the Middle East. A
writer couldn't dream up a plot as goofy as that, but there you have
it.
