Reply #100: It was an accident [View All]

I'm not a pilot and know nothing about airplanes. I merely approach this on a practical leval as a political junkie.

Why would the Repukes kill a popular Senator up for re-election after the Carnahan experience? They couldn't possibly know what the outcome would be. In fact after Wellstone died, the conservatives I know were quite despondent. They went from being somewhat hopeful that Coleman could pull it out to dreading a Carnahan like sympathy vote for the D replacement. How on earth could they have anticipated the "memmorial backlash."

I think it was an unfortunate accident. Small planes are not safe. I refuse to fly them myself. This tin foil stuff sounds nuts to me.
