If you don't like the slate of committee chairman, work to fix it.

Won't get fixed, you say? Recall your local reps. ALL of them. No BS. No "well, he's a good guy"...recall him (or her) and vote in someone else.

While you're at it, get some resolutions passed that provides for MEC election of ALL committee chairs, publishing all of the FPL and require everyone on the MEC to wear fuzzy pink bunny suits. Put some check and balance into the system.

Put your money where your mouth is. Not just you, but every single person here who ****es and moans about the status quo.

You're a sharp, funny guy Clamp. You could run a website www.recallallthereps.com. You could coordinate the actions of multiple councils, and, by the looks of things, you have a willing audience here to start with.

THIS is the major failing of the DPA, and why they remain a sideshow.

Nu
For discussion purposes I'm going to copy and paste your quote and my response on the DPA thread but really all I am doing is pasting this:
DPA: Why can’t we just change ALPA from within?

I don't think 80 meant the USAF had F-18s, I think he meant the F-18s had the USAF.



FTB, ready for his well deserved *** whipping from Ferd and Buzz in 1... 2... 3...

Of course Buzz, before you beat me down, realize that's a MD product taking out a Lockheed one. I'd totally find that unacceptable, if I were you I'd take that out on Ferd.

Once they get the autopilot figured out and can do it without having to step outside in the weather.

The current is delivered through EEG (electroencephalographic) electrodes placed on the scalp. Biomedical engineer Andy McKinley and colleagues at the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright–Patterson Air Force Base, reported their finding on this so-called transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) here at the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting on November 13.
With the success of the Air Force's research, wonder when Delta's going to send us a pair of electrodes, a nine volt battery and cut the pay for training in half?
