I am just trying to reconcile how this argument is shaping up. I think the most accurate assessment lies somewhere in the middle. Just trying to find out who's who. And more importantly, why. I frequently find myself at odds with the guys I fly with and it makes me question why their opinions are so opposed to mine. Sometimes, they're just idiots who don't read and believe everything their buddy told them (
), other times they know something that I don't and I learn something.
I don't have much time left and I am running out of energy trying to convince others what I believe to be true. But I'm still interested in hearing why others believe what is in direct opposition to what I believe especially given that we have both slogged through the same feces for the last 30.
Mako, I think you and I would see eye to eye on a lot of the stuff over the last 30 years over a beer or 2... What you say is true.
The part I have heartburn with are those that gloss over how he acted in 2003 and 2005 as a union rep...now, do I blame him for everything that happened to us? Heck no. But, just because he was against the last two does not forget his past..
At any rate, I have Russian Standard calling my name and am looking at a good night with wifey.
Good night
