OK, this thread was closed too and I could not reply, so I started my own. Somebody accused someone else of spending too much time in Washington, DC coffee houses talking to politicians.
Yeah, LIBERAL politicians !

FLY DUVA AIR's LUXURIOUS, DOUBLE-DECK
BOEING "STRATO" CLIPPER !
Obviously, you must be thinkin' of Administrations past... not present. For the time being, we're surrounded by all these conservative dimwits... who have no grasp on reality.
Just 2 more years and we'll be rid of 'em!!
Politicians are all alike be it Converservative or Lib.

Re: Politicians are all alike be it Conservative or Lib.
Amen, brother Craig....
Something seems to happen between the journey from 'The Call To Serve' to final destination (being Congress/Senate/Presidency)... The 'process' seems to get muddied along the way!
But, I must say, with all its faults, It somehow seems to work (eventually)...
Politics or a Government just works in due to numbers.
Also Governmental Branches. I am one who may vote Conservative but damn if the person you get in office through the Electoral College becomes like you say muddied. Like Pilots being protected in the Cockpit with a firearm. The White House (President) was against it! I know Pilots who wanted that protection. Even Liberal politicians voted for the action! Damn strange if you ask me, but to each his or her own who we vote in due to our system of Government.
And as you said,"It somehow seems to work (eventually)..." Well said!
Well, you've brought up the subject of Firearms in the Cockpit...
Would you (or, for that matter, anyone else here) feel 'safer' or more 'secure' if Pilots WOULD be able to carry firearms?...
I keep recalling Egypt Air... Anyone can go Looney. How 'bout those America West pilots? They were drunk!... I'm a bit undecided on this issue... although I'd agree with whatever the majority of Pilots go with...
I think then a sanity or some type of proficiency test should be done.
Passengers lives are at risk! On that I would want firearms but the ones flying the plane need some sort of test to see if everything is ok upstairs( in the mind). I would want a clean, sober, and a clear mind be at the yoke.

Sometimes I feel that we should use the Jury duty model to select politicians, and make it something that "has to be done" as opposed to a title with so much power. Weak minded people get sick with power, and most people seeking political life are weak minded.
Take away the power, leave the responsibility,and maybe we'd get better people in office.
I have conservative views, and progressive views, depending on the issue. I refuse to subscribe to a party because "my friends are involved". I believe what I believe and I vote accordingly.
People need to stop jumping on bandwagons to please their friends and think for once.

Good points Pete! I too have Conservative views similar too yours. And one point I really think is great that you stated,"Weak minded people get sick with power..". I for one will never have a seat in any form of Government. In general I don't like politics.
