Are you familiar with the concept of property rights? The dead have rights? The living have the right to determine and execute a plan to distribute their belongings as they see fit. If the inhertance tax hit 95% then I think we'd see a lot of people pidgeon-hole their earnings to ensure it remains within their family's possession. Hell, people even do that now.

You seem to equate wealth with worth. What you're saying is that people should not be allowed to do what they want with their own money. If it makes me happy in my life to know that my children will be taken care of - even though they want to be teachers and not stock brokers like Dad - then I should be able to leave them as much money as I want. If you're going to remove someone's right to do what they want with their money then how about you draft a law that requires all smokers to quit but they have to now put that $4 per pack per day into a government account. You're choosing your reference as a person who chooses frugality for himself, not someone who forces it on others. He HAS SAID that he does not promote a system that redistributes wealth based on "some comparable wealth system". He didn't say inhertance tax should be 95%, he said it should not be repealed. Also, and God forbid I should disagree with Warren, but that Olympics quote is a poor comparison. It makes Warren happy to donate all his money then fine. His children are immensely successfull so they're taken care of. If he had a kid with one leg and a kickstand I'm sure he'd drop a few million on him.

I think that any time someone finds a way to make more money than me that the country should tax them more so that it's redistributed to people like me. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Bullshit, there's no way they'll have the same level of character development. Although, I do hear that they have Matt Damon in the role of Billy Vance. That should be pretty good. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Oh, so now you're slamming EVERYONE with their book ideas? The man has a dream! Actually, what came to mind was the scene from Airplane: Stewardess: Ma'am would you like something to read? Woman: Yes, but something light. Stewardess: How about this pamphlete on Jewish sports legends? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

There is a book from the early '80's called "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche", a satire about knuck draggers. The greatest humor is that there is now a populace of men who don't eat quiche and don't even know where the saying came from. There are alot many who did read the book but didn't get the joke. A more contemporary example is the drop in sales of Merlot after the main character from Sideways said he wouldn't drink it. A ton of people didn't get the joke that this aspect of the character was created to poke fun at pretentious wine snobs. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

I see at least two places around Lake Elsinore that would be very willing to adopt. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&q=chinese+food&sll=33.668056,-117.326389&sspn=0.171155,0.227966&ie=UTF8&z=12&om=1 "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

So I took a digger off of jetski going about 60 mph recently and utilized my elbow, forarm, and skull in protecting my brain and spleen from being mashed. That was several weekends ago but I keep having this lump form on my forearm and can feel bumps on the bone below once I massage away the lump. The lump feels like it has the texture of clay and the bone is slightly sore if I really press it. The lump actually feels like it "creaks" a bit while I massage it, like creaking knuckles. So, what's the prognosis. There's also something loose in my elbow but that's for another day. I'm planning on getting set up for a checkout next week although I doubt they can do anything.

The other was at Ogden: From what I understand that one was in fairly close proximity to a building: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1897829;#1778867 As Zahry says, it's not a canopy for slow flying. To clarify, the incident with Patrick wasn't just a magical canopy collapse. There WAS turbulence. The canopy then folded in on itself and spun them into the ground in a wink.

The idiot probably let it go in the wild and it got eaten in a day because it was domesticated. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Is this information something that comes from the manufacturer and is taught to TM's using their gear? One collapse resulting in a student death was on a HOP with fewer than 600 jumps. How does this benefit the tandem passenger? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

There were two student fatalities that I know of involving HOPs flying in turbulence. Was there a modification to the airfoil to prevent this? "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher

Seriously, it's YOUR peers and contemporaries that established the huge DZ's that pull a ton of tandems. All other DZ's have no choice but to put tandems first or else not fly. Well, it appears whining is not any one particular generation's habit. HAAAA!!! Awesome. "I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher
