Thanks for all the history and travel info... it makes my interest in Baja that much more interesting... just an observation... did you happen to
notice how "different" the folks dressed while traveling back then?? it is not just the style but the effort people made.. skirts/blouses/ties... how
many of of us still have ties or would even consider dressing up for travel...

David:
I heard that Arnold kept his airplane there but I never saw it there.....Lake Wohlford is indeed an "aircraft carrier" approach and it is best not to
roll out too far....you go off the end of the mountain.
It's great practice for Baja though. In Baja runways are almost always not into the wind...along a beach where the wind blows off the water....and
they are almost always rough and rougher...even the paved ones are full of holes and bumps....and some are even hard to see from the air...or
anywhere. Others, like ours at Alfonsina's, can't be found at all when the moon is new or full....under water!
The term "Bush Pilot" really fits in Baja. A pilot needs to know how to navigate without the help of the FAA and electronics (not hard...keep your
nose brown and your wingtips blue), how to stretch fuel, see the wind and WX and how to make friends in far away and different places. But....for all
those "problems" you get mostly beautiful WX, nobody to hassle you if you get a case of "buzitis" or land somewhere some bureaucrat has not decreed an
airport. Baja might be the last free country on earth.

bucky:
you confuse napoleonic code with France's current code.
you also are unaware that greatest recent miscarriage of justice is US practice in Guantanomo of presuming all guilty until proven innocent, then
denying people their day in court.

Your opinion.....
On the other hand, I would rather have them locked up in GITMO than running around killing people..........

how many prisoners in gitmo are terrorists? maybe 10%?
dk: i understand that you don't trust govt at all, so how can it be that you trust govt imprisoned the right people in gitmo? unlike US military, i
adhere to our legal principles and assume that all are innocent until proven guilty, and a govt/military that refuses to reveal evidence and hold
trials is not a govt to be proud of.
lux sit!
yes we can!

good citizens have/enjoy rights.
military combatants get treatment per Geneva.
murdering terrorists AND THOSE WHO SUPPORT SAME cannot be classified according to any civilized rules of behavior and hence deserve ZERO consideration
or consolation.

How *&^%ing stupid can MTGoat et al get!? The Constitution of the United States of America does NOT apply to ANYONE but a citizen of the USA!
Those who think we should provide lawyers and all the protections of the Constitution to these people, so called, need to be locked up with them for
being terminally dumb.

David. David. David. Just look at what has happened. Can't you see what I was talking about? You started this thread with a wonderful post. And it
went to Hades with political wrangling. OK if you don't want to get a different ID for your political posts. I just hope that you can see that just in
this case, injecting political commentary into a historic post just ruins it. And just for the record, my initial post took no polticial position,
other than to remind you that your great contributions here tend to become diminished when irrelevant political references are posted. Think about it.

Bajahowoddd and others are all nice guys...I'm sure. But their niceness and comfort does not overcome the great big truth of what Jefferson said,
"The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."......like here!
The USA is in trouble and no amount of bad mouthing those who point to that trouble with alarm in any forum can erase it.
It would be nice, peaceful and very comfortable not to have this discussion here or anywhere else. But them days are gone for a while...maybe
forever.

I am trying to think of examples of governments that govern least. The governments that come to mind are failed states with no government:
afganistan, somalia, etc., where govt governs least. When the US removed the govt from Iraq, I seem to recall that the country was looted and
vandalized over nite. Getting rid of govt is not the solution to your oppressed condition, DK.
The countries with highest standards of living and most stable economies that have produced greatest capitalist succcess seem to be countries with
large governments: US, Japan, UK, Germany, France, Saudi, etc., etc.
Successful countries have the economic means to implement social programs, and I think it is great that most successful countries have always
implemennted social programs upon achieving success.
The only examples of economic power house countries that have not implemented social programs are old states of Europe and Asia, and they all fell in
revolution after the rich neglected the masses. Most recently, Russia was about to take off as an economic power house, but lack of government
resulted in organized crime taking over the country. How about Nigeria, they are making tons of monney there, but the minimal govt you so love is
doing nothing but looting the wealth.
DK: if you want least governmment, why don't you move to somalia or tribal area of afghanistan/pakistan where all government is local

DK: get a grip, old man! There are many successful government programs that have ended. Perhaps you were thinking that governmment agencies should
be terminated? For example, you are silly to think that creation of the EPA would result in a forever cleaner land and result in no further need for
EPA, and eventual shut down of agency.
One of my favorite successful govt programs was the program to put man on the moon. DK: that program is over now. Now the responsible agency is
untertaking new programs, and I dig every one of them, the programs generate fascinating scientific results and technologies.
One of my other fav programs was WPA. Lots of great art and public facilities were created by that former program.
Yes we can!

Skeet,
Take your meds. Where was I criticising the precious vets?? criticism of US policy is not criticism of GI Joe or Jane. people who remain silent
when they see misjustices of their government are no better than texans
