Geez Chuck,

Did this thread ever devolve into a cockfight? I thought it was an OT
about decency in America.

Right Wingers, Left Wingers, what are they doing? Talking about
chickens, politics, or just winging it?

I duuno. What do you think?

I suppose most of these folks here don't know this. During W.W.II laws
were enacted giving military personnel priority travel over civilian
travelers. These laws are still in force.

The air lines really have no choice but to make the best of the
situation. Its not like they have extra jets in some secret hanger. I
suppose MAC could lend a hand, but they are a little busy themselves.

1st Mate tells me its time for the sack. C-ya



regards,
Capt. Frank

Terrorist
listen to the democrats here and figure if they can just hold out a little
longer, they will win. If the dems would put as much effort into helping


this country as they do bad mouthing it, the terrorist problem would have
been handled years ago.


Ever consider moving to a police state? In such a system, *nobody* is allowed
to express any dissent when the government
launches a war or question the motives/wisdom of participating in same.

It makes a very efficient system. The government simply declares how it is
proper to think about this subject or that, and those who disagree better darn
well keep mouth shut- or they'll be a burning corpse by morning.

Anybody in Iraq who might wonder what the official will of the American people
might be, has only to look out the window
and see the occupation troops on the street. Only to huddle in the cellar and
pray to Allah as the bombs and artillery rounds fall on structures that may be
very nearby. (As was the case 2-3 nights ago)

When the country is wrong, should we avoid speaking out simply because the
people "in charge" are making the mistake?

Under a police state, the republicans will have to keep silent wehn the
democrats are in charge or be suspected of treason. Same when the reverse is
true.

Would you like such a system? It seems to be what you're advocating in your
post.
