Hajduk, you have excellent points in your post. I was very pleased to read them.

However,unfortunately for me, your offensive nature of discourse unsettled me, even though I agreed with your points completely. Would it not be better (and more productive) to teach an idiot how to not be an idiot rather than to just tell him he is one?

And, for a bit of levity, as for your helicopters and ocean jumping, many people do it today, as part of a profession. They are called U.S. Navy SEALS.
