As an extremely honest person who has never used an illegal drug and has
served in the military I would like to disagree.

Undoubtedly, if we kept former military members from flying, we would
"weed out a few nut cases". If this is your standard for good law, you
need to stop voting.

That was a cheap shot. Have a nice day.

I don't think it was all that cheap. If you want to amend your
statement, I would be glad to read what you really meant. Thoughts like
the one you wrote are much too common these days, and its getting more
expensive everyday.
OK, I'll ammend it just for you. Your suggestion that keeping former
military pilots from flying would weed out a few nut cases was a cheap
shot. If as you said you had served in the military you'd know military
pilots go through a much more rigorous program than any PPL ever will.

I ignored the rest of your rant since none of it makes anymore sense than
"If this is your standard for good law, you need to stop voting."

Dan,

First, I did not specify military pilots, I said the whole military. Thus I
included myself. You took it personally, and it was not intended to be so.
Certainly, you met some nuts in the military. I spent more than a few days
worth of work trying to weed some of them out of the military, and would
rather them not be flying with me in the pattern.

Second, if you did stop reading, then you did a great job of blind cut and
paste.

Third, the statement you question for making no sense, makes perfect sense.

Fourth, you accused me of a cheap shot, so I gave you a chance to restate
your orignal comment - Not your accusatory, illogical, or weak defense of
it. It is EXACTLY the kind of reasoning politicians give when they propse
to take away our liberties for a small amount of security. So, I propose
that if you really meant what you said, you could do us a favor and stay
home on election day. And, as if you were one of those politicians, you now
defend your position by crying about the way I am taking your argument down
rather than defending your position or proving I am wrong.

My shot may be alleged to be cheap, but it is still correct and on target.
