    Steve, as one who grew up during Vietnam, with Kent State, My Lai, and Watergate, I don't think I have ever seen anyone use the words "Nixon" and "good qualities" in the same sentence.

    Other than the fact that he wasn't twins, I can't think of anything good about him.

    Steve,

    I agree regarding the soon to be Republican nominee, their really isn't much difference between the GOP and the Dems they both take $ and respond to those who lobby. The big fight over returning to the pre 2000 tax rates is whether we should raise the upper rate from the current 35% to 39%. The stated rates are all a phony argument since the tax code provides a zillion loop holes to avoid paying taxes, the only rate that counts is the effective rate, i.e. that which is actually paid. I didn't vote for Mr. Nixon, I didn't like the idea of a "Secret Plan" to end the war, but I do think he was a talented manger. Bill, I voted for Barry Goldwater in 1964 and George McGovern in 1972...both lost, my only regret during that period was not voting at all in 1968. I hope we get a big voting turn-out come Nov, but with all the negative ads it isn't likely. This election will be like most decided by the "independent" voter choosing the lesser of two bad choices.

    That was my point.
    Unfortunately in science what you believe is irrelevant.

    If it makes anyone feel better there is a major story in today's business section of USA Today about how China is starting to see some economic problems and slow down of growth almost as if the U SA did in 2008 to the present, but not nearly to the same extent.

    Yes, New management will be something different! If they certify the "2+2" they may get a lot of orders from the growing Chinese aviation market. This is all speculation, just like tomorrow's weather will be "different" from todays! The stockholders of Glassair have approved this deal and their objective is to make $$, so it's safe to say that the free enterprise system is working.
