I'm not saying at that all. You need reading lessons, I guess.

Perhaps. Would you kindly parse this for me and let me know what you really
meant, then?:

But the real issue here is that the people who voted for Bush, on the whole,
simply either refuse to believe the factual reports that contradict
everything Bush claimed and claims, or failed to pay attention to those
reports when they were made.

It is an educated guess about some particular subject. The results may

Which Bush voters? The 64% that still believe that Saddam Hussein was

What survey are you talking about? I find this number hard to believe.

After all, how do you bribe a wealthy man?

With unbridled power. And if that doesn't frighten you then what will? Until
the democrats get out of the business of promoting a nanny state they
probably will stay out of power.

I think an interesting question is why the majority of major urban areas are
"blue" and the remainder of the country is "red". Any thoughts? Are the
people in the "blue" areas: Smarter? More Dependent? More Caring?
Need more services?

Since people being paid by the government (employees, retirees, what have
you) do not generate any income in the purest sense, the "taxes" they "pay"
are entirely illusory. Same with anyone on the dole.

A perfect example, Jay, of why your "olive branch" of yesterday is
just horse feathers, glued together with spit and bull****.

You--and many others--equate government workers with people on the
dole.

So let's see. The many government researchers who conceived of and
created the ARPAnet--later to become the Internet, which you use
now--are no better than welfare recipients. Or Albert Einstein who
was on the "dole" not only in the US, but Europe! Damn parasite.

Or maybe the trash collectors, or city engineers, or the zillion
others--they don't generate any income, eh? How about the soldiers
carrying Dumya's personal little war--oops, I meant, protecting the
Homeland. No real income generation there!

Do you? Really, all you do is take people's hard-earned money and
give them a very temporary, ephemeral product--a night's sleep--in
return. Hardly what I would call income, in the purest sense, that
is. Maybe the Enrons of the world, would that be real income and real
taxes?

Of course not. Anyone or any company that adds value to an individual
or group in the form of a product or service, and receives money for
that added value, that's income. And if they pay taxes on it, they're
real taxes. The source of the income is irrelevant.

The original poster, assuming his basic figures were correct, was
right. The blue states are carrying the parasitic red states. Here in
California, we are forced to add ethanol to our gasoline for one
purpose: to bail out Midwest corn farmers. Another burden on the
hard-working, efficient blue workers, whether private or public
sector.

Jeez, no wonder Dumya won. The biggest product this country makes is
religious fanatics and fuzzy thinkers, and they seem to be collected
in the Midwest and South.

I just got back from a vacation in Montreal (that's in Canada, for
those who haven't traveled farther away than your 1st cousins). Lots
of vacation ads to guess where? Cuba. Why are Canadians free to
travel wherever they want, while I, an American, cannot?

I have been flying since 1996. In my 1000 hours I have seen an
airplane, not in the vicinity of an airport, maybe 10 times.

I'm based in New Jersey. I've seen at least that many in the last 50 hours of flight
time. You could probably see at least five just running the Hudson VFR corridor once.
Probably get five more doing a low-level run down the coast during banner-towing
season. But even if you avoid known high-traffic areas like those, you'll see plenty
of aircraft.

It's an ACTION design. YOU get a clue.

No, this is a K-98 rifle, manufactured by the Mauser Fabrikwerk in 1943 and
sporterized in Suhl, Germany sometime after the war. Mauser rifles do, of course,
have Mauser actions.

Cecil,

Repeat after me. Never, never, never argue second amendment rights in a
newsgroup. If you need frustration try teaching your dog not to chase
rabbits. In fact, you have a better chance of succeeding there than you do
in converting NRA members.

Shame on you. (not about the admonishment - rather being a gun control
nazi)

One thing - one of so very many things - I learned in my five years of
flying is that partisan politics does not fit into the cockpit.
-- David Brooks

And neither does reading War and Peace between the outer marker and
decision height.................So for THIS reason you decided to post
this idiotic nonsense and bring politics into the cockpit right?
You know Brooks; I had a job once pushing a D18 Beech into Washington
National every night. While I was on vacation, they hired me a new co
pilot. After I got back, I walked into the flight office and everybody
was jabbering about something they thought was real cute. Before I had a
chance to meet the new guy, they pulled me into a side office and asked
me if I minded flying with this new guy because he was black. You know
what I told them? I said I didn't give a rat's ass if he was purple as
long as he could fly!
Flying is flying...period. You'd be well advised if you intend hanging
around this business for any length of time to get this kind of crap
right out of your head. There's no place for it here, and no place for
it in any airplane I'm flying, I'll tell you that. But you're right,
this kind of thinking has absolutely no place even near an airplane. If
you can't handle it on a simple newsgroup, I'd hate to think of you
flying with some co-pilot someday whose politics you didn't agree with!
Man, this is not a healthy attitude for a pilot.
