    Performed remarkably well for the thieves who ended up reigning misery down on those who do an honest day's work for a living.

    Yeah, we saw how effective the Bush years with the GOP-controlled Congress were.

    Cranked aircon 24/7. I turn it up so cold at night, I need my down comforter--I sleep like a baby. Oh, and, of course, beer.

    The use of marijuana in Japan would be the single most improvement to this country since cup ramen.

    I remember drinking with some students after class when I used to teach at Be Rich. They started asking me about the "expert" training I went through to master the vaunted Be Rich method. Have had a few too many daijokis and not being informed by the management on how long our training was to have officially lasted, I blurted out that it was supposed to be three days, but they cut it short and put me in the classroom the night of the second day. "EeeeeeH!" the students response. Apparently, the Be Rich had been telling students that we had undergone a month of rigorous training. Hehehehehehehe, always the scam in Japan.

    Here's what I posted in another article about Quantas:

    I do know about the new Boeing 787 and I would hope the composites aren't used in the critical area mentioned in the article.

    Seems they are being used in critical areas on the new Boeing. Might be wise to avoid this aircraft in the future--I'd hate to be one of their Guinea pigs.

    Here's the article I posted before:

    Beerplease, nobody really cares that much. Airbuses have some accidents and Boeings have some too. I guess you've just chosen a side and will defend it to the death.

    Actually, I just read the article today and hadn't really given much thought to either maker until now (only that toilets on AB seem to have more problems). It seems some, though, had already taken the AB side.

    Hopefully, the side I choose will help me live longer. ;)

    Does the C-130 use composites?

    I read a lot of "may" "likely" and "perhaps"

    Now you do.

    Nor make pronouncements about things they haven't read.

    Feel free to draw your own conclusions. I do know about the new Boeing 787 and I would hope the composites aren't used in the critical area mentioned in the article.

    The wing spoilers failed, the rudder limiter became inoperative and the rudder may have locked into place. At this point, it is likely that the plastic stabilizer was ripped from the plane. [64] (messages sent from plane on rudder problem, Telegraph, June 14, 2009.)

    There is little or no likelihood that we will ever know whether the tail fin was blown off by the storm, as a result of the pilot’s attempt to control the plane, or by uncontrolled movements of the rudder.

    I guess you read this differently. And:

    Although aluminum vertical stabilizers may be heavier and accordingly provide less fuel economy, the fact is that there is no history of metal tail fins being torn from fuselages in commercial passenger aircraft in the past half century.

    I'm going to start avoiding Airbus.

    I'm not claiming the cause was mechanical--I'm sure it was clear air turbulence or whatever--I'm making a point about the Airbus's ability to withstand that turbulence. Did you read the article? Long, but informative.

    But more important than money are the ethical choices HMOs force doctors to make: Are medical decisions being made based on medicine or the HMO's bottom line? What do you think? The unethical doctors are rewarded for keeping costs down to the detriment of their patients.
