Planes flying over the slope/CH/PH are bound for LGA. Planes to JFK tend to fly over the water and do some crazy turn just over Nassau county to land at JFK.
The only reason I think the Tea Party is a crock is because they aren’t proposing any real alternatives. I think they’re right about a number of things, primarily fiscal issues (SOME of them are on some bullshit re: social issues), but they really need to tone done all the lunatic talk and start putting some people in front of the media who can articulate solutions for voter consideration.
“Lech, the social aspect of education has a value in and of itself, to state the obvious.”
Agree 100%. But there are other ways to get this.
I’m not proposing to change anything. Just pointing out why I think things work the way they do and suggesting that making incremental choices within this structure isnt’ nearly as meaningful as people believe.
Noki – I don’t particularly care about the tea party, so it’s not my job to defend them. You have called them all kinds of bad names but still haven’t given a reasoned disagreement with any policy. If you are telling me you can’t do so, that’s fine. We can leave it at that.
Lech – I think you are on to something. Schools definitely warehouses children so the parents can go out and be wage slaves.
(Except for my ex-wife who takes advantage of all the free time by sitting in front of the TV and eating bon bons)
Of course that is not their ONLY function. But it is a function and it is hypocritical not to admit it.
ARkady – but what’s strange is that no passenger flights arrive into Kennedy past 12am (am pretty sure) so living in PS I notice the plane traffic stops around midnight so what we all heard this morning around 3:30 is very very strange – I can’t beleive MM saw something! – I wished I got up to check it out.
Let me see if I can find anything online.
“Noki – More insults, but you still haven’t pointed to any single policy with which you have a reasoned disagreement.”
lechacal, The way you insult people around here, you really haven’t got a leg to stand on. Were you raised by wolves? Your lack of self-esteem and ability to get along with people is on full display today. You seem to think you have lots of answers, yet all I see is someone who is bitter and angry every day with a pile of resentments from here to the moon.
rf, who said I wanted to educate my own kids? I want them gone during the day just like everyone else does. Pointing out how we got here doesn’t mean I want something different.

I suspect that all the air=craft activity is b/c Obama is in town.
