Subject: [Mifnet 🛰 74200] Re: craziest idea of the day

I strongly support David Wardell's suggestion to "move on" from this topic.  I 
would only add that I recently observed that the Mifnet occasionally suffered 
from a liberal political bias that detracted from its mission as a professional 
aviation organization.  It seems that the recent post(s) that led to David's 
suggestion appear to validate this unfortunate tendency and have no proper 
place in the role of this organization.

All,



Please note: responding to the general thread and not to any specific post.



As Mike has so aptly observed, we are now in NNN territory.



For those who are new to the list, we implemented “NNN” some years ago as a
tag that would identify posts/threads that lack much aviation-related
content. I suggested “NNN” as this was the telegraphic code that could mean
several things but often advised a receiving operator to ignore a message.
At one time there was a software routine in the Mifnet system that would
inhibit sending “NNN” message to list members who elected to ignore them.
This process was more cumbersome technologically than it sounds.



Alas, that was several versions of Mifnet past. I’d revive that process if
I could think of a way to do so.



May I kindly suggest that this thread has run its productive course, and
that it’s time to move on?



All the best,



DW

Well, this has clearly gone into NNN territory. Brings to mind some
polarizing dialogues that led to NNN. Chased a few folks away if memory
serves.



I just watched those fights because they became shouting matches and I was
having one of my own with a couple fellow engineers who were instrumental in
my career development. It was very painful. I have to step up.



So for the record:

*       Firing Kimmel (not a suspension, he's gone), has sent a chill
through the media & the autocrats continue to win.
*       Trump is a full-blown autocrat & wrecking ball.
*       Mid-terms may be our last hope, considering how much long-term
damage he's already done in just a few months.
*       If the mid-terms help slow things down our legal system MIGHT have a
chance to help.
*       If (if) we can make things right it will take 20-30 years to recover
internally and God knows how long to restore our international reputation.
*       It's really curious that his 1500 pardoned, violent criminals have
been very very quiet. Can Trump just snap his fingers & activate his private
militia?
*       With or without a militia, will the threats & killings accelerate?
*       I am NOT Chicken Little and I am very nervous.
*       And yes I have participated in peaceful demonstrations & helped to
fund the ACLU & SPLC. If I see people in masks making arrests aka
kidnapping, I will speak up in real time.

That's all I have to say, I will not debate.

How can a “balanced” approach be viable in light of the rhetoric that
emerges constantly from the Oval Office?  Trump says that Democrats (and any
opposition) are “scum” and “evil.”  Pam Bondi has no idea what the First
Amendment really requires.  In the presence (and real threat) of an
autocrat, there can be no “balanced approach.”

We are in a Constitutional crisis and balance does not work.  Kimmel was
just exercising his right of free speech.  You don’t have to agree with him
but it is VERY wrong to take him off the air.  Just say you don’t agree,
which is your First Amendment right.

Jay Leno made a comment some time ago that a balanced approach works.
Colbert sings only one tune.  It becomes tedious and boring after a while.
Now Kimmel seems to be singing the same song.  I vote for more balance and
less politics.  BKL
