All-
Attached is a letter to the our local paper's editor. I don't think this is an off-list topic, due to our list membership.
I'm not ashamed, I'm infuriated!

Please consider the following:
I'm normally apolitical, but the recent actions of the incumbent administration mandate my humble, dissenting opinion.
The fence between Mexico and the US is a farce. The Great Wall of China, with it's watchtowers manned by archers failed to stop the Mongols- what chance does 760 miles of chain link fence have? Erecting such a fence is a blatant waste of taxpayer dollars, and a slap in the face to our people who are dying to protect basic ideals that are being circumvented for political reasons. If this decision isn't reversed immediately, you and I are no better than the Nazis on trial at Nuremburg. The disgusting thing is, both parties allowed this atrocity of a law to pass! This only proves that our "Representatives" represent only themselves, and to Hell with the rest of the country.
Bureaucracy has taken over. Self-sustaining government was responsible for the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, the Greek Empire, and the British Empire. Are we witnessing the rise and fall of the American Empire?
1. The label Department of Homeland Security makes me gag. Too close to "Fatherland" Security.
2. The 911 bombers came into the country through Canada. Are we going to fence off Canada, too?
3. We're trying to keep out hardworking people who are willing to work for less than US citizens. Most of us are the decendents of the Italians, Irish, Polish, and Russians who were welcomed in through Ellis Island and did the same, then died in WWII fighting to protect the right to the "American Dream." (Not to mention those brought against their will on slave ships).
This time, you and I as Americans have to step up and defend the Constitution, written to protect oppressed people throughout the world rather than the "Misrepresentatives" in Washington. Don't think in terms of Republican or Democrat, think in terms of right or wrong.
Thank you.

Bill, I think if you check you will find that the 911 terrorists did not come from or through Canada. It was part of the original misinformation supllied by your officials that turned out to be incorrect. None of them came from or through Canada, they were all in your country as residents, visitors or students. As to the rest, I think it is currently a goal to pay Boeing a few billion to secure your northern border, they aleady have gunships patrolling the great lakes. It really is best that I not offer any opinion on your government. BTW can you get your abassador to stop telling us what we should do, it's irritating.

WRONG....."This time, you and I as Americans have to step up and defend the Constitution, written to protect oppressed people throughout the world rather than the "Misrepresentatives" in Washington."
The Constitution was written & US military paid the price for "WE THE PEOPLE" NOT "we the world". Sorry but the fence WILL slow down in influx of ILLEGAL ALIENS and it's meant to protect US, not keep us in.
Those who came in via Ellis Island were legal immigrants not ILLEGAL ALIENS.

I guess if someone crashes on the fence, they need to worry about where
to bury the survivors.

Hi guys,
HOW ABOUT A "DO NOT ARCHIVE" WITH THESE POSTS.
If they don't belong in the forum, leave them out, find another group
who cares
enough to be a group that would act. When I'm reading the Zenith List
posts,
I am not political or anything else. Doubt many are either. Please
consider the
value of being responsible for these emotional posts. The archives,
content of our projects
and progress are adversely affected by these things. Let's stay on topic
or at least
add the appropriate Do Not Archive, Please,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

I thought this was a Zenith-net that was supposed to be about building Zenith airplanes, not a political forum. If you people want to engage in this kind of dialog, do it off net.

I have learned in life that there are two things that just about every last person in the world has passionate views about – religion and politics. And, for every person we find who agrees with our political/religious view, there is certainly another person who will disagree with that view. The beauty of this list is that we can rest with the knowledge that there is a place where absolutely every last member shares the same view – the view that safely building, flying, and maintaining experimental aircraft is of paramount importance for all who engage in this endeavor.
It would be sad, indeed, if we allowed ourselves to divide up along political / religious / national / etc lines. I learn for all of your posts – when I build my aircraft, I want all of you on my team. But, if we allow this list to be a political forum, there is certain to be many of you that will be someplace else when I am ready to ask my questions.

A 700 mile fence on a 3000 mile boarder won't work. Somebody needs to do the math.

Bill,
AS a member of the list membership you are refering to ( Mexican- Cuban- American, beaner, what ever) I told myself that I would not respond to this, because this web forum is just for us guys and gals that work hard during the day, and drink beer ( my brand is Dos X) and build airplanes at night after the kids go to sleep. I will be super brief. The fence according to all my Mexican relatives, (yes we too swam across the river for a job many moons ago), feel the fence is actually a good thing. I know, you are reading this twice thinking "what is this beaner smoking!" but believe it or not My uncle who came across the border with wife in tow in the sixties as well as all my cousins ( too many to list), agree with the fence, becuase it is extremely dangerous to cross and it may prove to save lives, the distance from the border to some of the towns is measured in miles and its hot and dry, and the walk can and has killed many people. The people that truck the families over are also some of the nastiest- meanest people you may run into. So us folks you are trying to defend, and you are talking about, agree about the fence. Hey dude, I think its cool that you can say your peece, that is why we came her right? Its O.K. dude, believe me If we want to get across, trust me we will. Feel free to email me direct, and let the rest of our friends on this email work on some fun and exciting projects. Let us move on.
Dos X is a Mexican beer for all you Canadian beer drinkers by the way. It is an acquired taste.

Your remarks about the subject of keeping religious/political views off of this net is the most intelligent thing I have heard anyone say and I agree with you 100%

I agree with Bill C.---- I am having all I can do to keep quiet on the "Fence" issue but will continue not to give my opinion of how I feel about the subject, but; I feel the original post was out of line for this forum--------- let's use this site for "airplane talk".

What color Scotch-Brite do I use to clean the metal posts on my fence? Also, I was thinking of installing a new engine on my riding lawnmower. The grass near my fence needs mowing badly, but I can't decide if I should go with a Rotax 912 or a Corvair conversion.
Please, don't shoot! Just a lame attempt at humor from an overworked and underpaid old man.
I love this forum.

That depends on the material & shape of the posts. Round, galvinized
? Raw "hat" steel or painted green.
Also, I was thinking of installing a new engine on my riding lawnmower.
Is that new, rebuilt or does it come as a you assemble kit.
The grass near my fence needs mowing badly but I can't decide if I should go
with a Rotax 912 or a Corvair conversion.
Brand new from the manufacture might be a problem if you deside on a
Corvair. However I had a Turbo Spider back when & as our friend
from Tool Time would have said...Varooom. Many years ago I saw a Corvair
powered motorcycle with a sidecar. The owner was a movie actor that
had a "rubber" face & played in the "beach" movies of the 60's.
Please, don't shoot! Just a lame attempt at humor from an overworked and
underpaid old man.
They only shoot lane horses not old farts or I'd already be dead.
I love this forum.

When I joined the RCAC 52 yrs ago we were told not to discuss religion, politics and women in the officer's mess.
I must admit to having problems avoiding the third subject at times but I believe it was generally good advice that should apply to this forum.
I must add that none of the 911 terorist came from Canada.
