Aircraft safety is important. That's why we let political activists and airlines make FAA rules, shout down anyone who suggests they're not completely and absolutely safe already, denigrate anyone investing an alleged "accident" as a conspiracy theorist, and delete paper trails. Thank God we take elections just as seriously. Why think of the harm that could befall our nation if cabals of the wealthy managed to strongly influence our electoral process.
You know, I just wish this social mind cancer that has befallen US society, where everybody is on some "side" against each other, and talks like you in your comment, would die.
I'm specifically not saying you are "worse" than others. It's more that that is the standard of how we treat each other now. And that is fucked up.
(Call me off-topic, but this matters.)
There is no "left". There is no "right". There are only people. With needs. If they all get what they need, the beef gets buried.
Itâ(TM)s pretty hard to reach consensus with people who strait up do not agree with the laws or their implementation. One group wants for example Voter ID. The other group doesnâ(TM)t (presumably because there is an impression illegal votes favor their side?). We canâ(TM)t have consensus.
I have always felt that voters should be assigned a unique ID known only to the state and the voter. The full register of votes should be public. You should be able to see all the IDs and how they voted,
You may have just done that which you said was impossible.
It took me until middle age to really learn this well, but I learned something a few years ago. (I guess I knew it intellectually before, but it really sank in a few years ago). You said:

Thanks for the link. I have no skin in this game, but man, that video is horrifying in terms of how non racist these white racists try to be. Honestly, I sometimes think everyone is racist/sexist/etc (often) with the best intention of trying not to be, but just not seeing in which way they are. And yes, that includes me.
Thank you. I have to be careful not to give the wrong impression "the other way", I guess you could say.
Although I understand they have good intentions, it gets my blood boiling when people say condescending snobbish things like "a lot of black people don't know how to get an ID", or "a lot of black people don't have an ID or birth certificate" or when it's pointed out you can get the ID for free online "they might not know how to use the internet". That patronizing, condescending attitude sets me off. I w
I don't know if your daughter is smarter than my daughter, but her daddy has more time to write on Slashdot, that's for sure. The supportive racists (for want of a better term) are being stupid because they turn it into a black versus non black thing. I don't think it's worth it to take offence at their "lots of black people probably.." because of they count "lots" as "more than fit in my car", it's surely quite correct. They shouldn't focus on the colour though, it's uninformed, uneducated, etc., people, the colour is not relevant. It's rather a sign of the times, all the wokeness, that makes the racism come out. They try to be politically correct, saying something supposedly in favour of black people, virtue signalling all the way, so that surely no one can contradict them. I'm not sure if that makes them dumb, idiotic or stupid, but it doesn't make them racist. They already were.

Yeah this is my brain break from working on these f*+&! buffer overflows that just aren't working. How the h+$& does it setfault in a nop sled!?
In other words, my hacks are working the last couple days and it's frustrating as heck. So Slashdot is my 5 minute break every couple hours. :)
