Leaving the community

Naw, I think he is just feeling a little frustrated. Personally I am just
grateful that Bush clearly had the popular vote (even if slim) so it wasn't
like 2000, made it a little easier to take. Though he still looks like a
chimp grin My candidate at least resembled a humanoid; Herman Munster
GRIN

THERE you go. That's the ticket.

It's time to laugh about it, have a beer, and get back to flying. This crap
is over for another four years...

A little cheese with that whine, my dear?

But now it seems the nation has, albeit by a slim margin, re-elected a
weak,
hypocritical, murderous coward.

Pitiful.

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. Most of my
flight instructors have, I know, been to the right of me politically. I
had
a most enjoyable flight with CJ - although he has since earned my undying
enmity by unapologetically using the term "Final Solution" in connection
with me and people like me, an astonishing thought coming from an avowedly
religious man, but telling and apt.

But now it seems the nation has, albeit by a slim margin, re-elected a
weak,
hypocritical, murderous coward. Three years ago, when some writers on the
left started talking about fascism, I thought that an absurd stretch. No
longer. The parallels are not precise - they never are - but the broad
sweep
and many of the components of a new fascist state are in place. The 48%
who
didn't vote for this disaster keep knocking on my consciousness, but they
are now feeble and impotent. The thugs are in charge.

That being so, and despite what should be an apolitical setting, I can no
longer in good faith keep company with a group of which the majority, I
know, has elected to deliver the country I love, and chose as my home,
into
the hands of Bush and his repressive, regressive masters.

So long. Thanks for all the conversations. You guys have made me a better
pilot.

With all due respect, this is the easy way out. Stick with it and it`ll
seem a bit better tomorrow and a bit better the next day. Time will heal
your pain.

I know what you are saying, but quitting is the cowardly thing to do. Stay
here. Voice and defend your opinions. Many more may believe as you do,
many may not. The point is that in life, you have to participate, no matter
how ugly. Standing on the sidelines and bitching about the quarterback is
no way to live a fulfilling and productive life. Come back soon. You will
always be welcomed.

Let me get my welder, we can fix that.

So sorry to hear that. Let us know how socialism/communism works out for
you. It did wonders for China, Cuba and CCCP.
