Asinine? ... Because I don’t agree with you?

[dmz]

Oh.... excuse me.... I thought I was at Freerepublic, where I could have a personal view!

<><><><<

Absolutely. But you did appear to belittle anyone who might have an interest in this story, as lacking ‘discernment’.

[rawhide]

Asinine?

Your remarks about her, YES, most definitely!

[Finny]

Are you a pilot? Just curious.

[SMARTY]

Once again... I must have confused this with a place where different views were welcome.

Where do you get off with the attitude, just because you IDOLIZE someone that I don’t?

And don’t bother answering because I am sick of your BS assumption that just because YOUR toes curl up for Amelia, MINE should too.

I WILL report you so get off my back! B A C K O F F!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's see - you dump on someone's historical favorite with comments based on hearsay (I presume you didn't know her personally) and you get testy because others don't like your comments and spout off back ?

Methinks you're a mite sensitive after trying to put out a fire with gasoline.

Nikumaroro Island was formerly known as Gardner Island and has had a long history of being linked to the Earhart mystery.

From Wikipedia:
In 1940, Gerald Gallagher, a British colonial officer and licensed pilot, radioed his superiors to inform them that he had found a "skeleton... possibly that of a woman", along with an old-fashioned sextant box, under a tree on the island's southeast corner.

He was ordered to send the remains to Fiji, where in 1941, British colonial authorities took detailed measurements of the bones and concluded they were from a stocky male. However, in 1998 an analysis of the measurement data by forensic anthropologists indicated the skeleton had belonged to a "tall white female of northern European ancestry." The bones themselves were misplaced in Fiji long ago.

Little bit of trivia on Charles Lindbergh. His father changed the family name when they moved from Germany so it would sound more American. IF his father hadn’t changed the family name, his name would have been Charles Manson.
