Wisdom from my father: Never argue with a crazy person or a drunk.... and don't waste time trying to figure out into which category they fall!
Good advice! My Dad use to say something similar. I think we should add paranoids in there somewhere. Like I have said in other posts, I been reading Free Republic for over 3 years and enjoy the heck out of it. In circumstances like Flight 587 though, common sense and logic often seem to be in short supply, while paranoia flows like a raging river to the sea. Even after a definitive cause is determined for the crash(mechanical failure, turbulence, pilot stupidity, whatever), there will still be those here hollering government coverup. I never fail to be amazed by it ....
