Who and what are we to believe about all this stuff?

The only things I can really believe in are when I core a 500FPM
thermal and gain a few thousand feet: I am there and I am experiencing
the event.

As average citizens we "rely" on un-reliable politically motivated
news sources.

Sorry if this post offends anyone, but I've come to look to this group
as a bunch of really smart folks with some very good opinions.

It is *way* off topic. I suggest any soaring pilots interested in
discussing this subject meet on one of the many areas on the web that
are devoted to political discussion, and continue the discussion there.
This is an international glider group, not a USA political chat room.

Now, if the video had mentioned John Cochrane, maybe it wouldn't be so
far off topic!
