  1. they didn't get the memo , but it's being made up in their talking points
  2. john rocker said alot of truth , and he found himself riding the subway. if you want to tell the truth you better be financially self sufficient, and i'm not so sure that would innoculate you. how about this ? http://blogs.ktla.com/samrubin/2010/10/why-cnn-totally-blew-the-rick-sanchez-firing.html
  3. bill gates economic insight! http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703882404575520241519315372.html?mod=WSJ_newsreel_opinion
  4. i'm counting that as a great quote, who should get attribution ?
  5. A) How do you know? B) That's still just the effect of the belief. There's a reason that so many people swear that homeopathy makes them feel better, and it isn't because the water's magic. Except that's so obviously untrue, unless you get into the whole "Well I guess it may seem a bit shit that my kids just died in a car crash, but god's will must mean it's for the best!" rationalisation. what if the car crash saved us from global thermonuclear war ?
  6. You can eliminate a lot of misunderstandings with simple verbal language, though this isn't going to be a complete fix. Between the especially uptight, those who can't hear over the noise, and those who are out of their minds with anxiety, you can still find trouble. And in a time sensitive situation, you fix the problem first, worry about feelings later. The dropzone is an adult playground. In many places, it's not kid friendly, with lots of sex, drugs, alcohol, and "free spirited" behaviour. We don't have to change to the standard of the most prudish. And if the DZ is stifling, many upjumpers will go to a more fun place. But in contrast, the DZ is also a business that has to focus on the tourist jumpers. They do have an incentive to be more accommodating. all staff at our dz submitted to drugtesting shortly after our annual safety meeting. we have a breathalyzer at manifest if suspicions arise. we have a midnite curfew that's mandatory for 1st load, and 8 hour curfew thereafter. as to topic, being ex military i cringe sometimes when i see the tm's gearing up. because vertant and inadvertant actions can be interpreted in the worst possible light !
  7. alot of libs , libertarians , independant and other non conservatives watch fox becauese they have alot of oposing opinion, and they want to see the latest conservative strategies
  8. i bristle at the term carbon footprint, now i can get onboard with reducing our pollution footprint. !
  9. when you say peer reviewed, did bill ayers get a crack at it ?
  10. when i started flying, i don't want to say when, visibility was reported with 80 miles as a maximum. and it wasn;\'t uncommon to see that much visibility outside of heavy industrial areas , mostly because of pollution it was reduced to a maximum of 10, the about 10 to 15 years ago it was reduced to a maximum of 6 statute miles and was reported as p6sm in metars and tafs. this was as a result of icao merging with JAA and their associated visibilities in europe. back in the US visibilities have risen back to 80 miles on a regular basis in alot of areas, there is a good correlation between this and the lowering of noxious emissions for 40+ years. so in general i don't get very excited about claims of air pollution. plants need co2 and they breathe it , don't they ?
