Spin Zone / Lesson of the Plucked chicken

“Lesson of the Plucked Chicken “
 
Prime Example of The DNC Today.  This is what, "You the People" Elected to Do to Our Country.
By BELIEVING The Democrats Are Good for Our Country, "You Have Made Our Country" Dependent on Government Rule.
No Different From, Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, North Korea, China, and all other Communist/Socialist Countries.  Very Sad for Sure!
 
Read the Story Below - Food for Serious Thought?  Does Not Apply To ALL
 
During those final days of the collapsing Marxist experiment in the Soviet Union, Soviet novelist Chingiz Aitmatov retold the following story, which has been paraphrased here.
 
On one occasion, so it was narrated, at the top of his power, Stalin called for a live chicken and proceeded to use it to make an unforgettable point before some of his henchmen.  Forcefully clutching the chicken in one hand, with the other he began to systematically pluck out its feathers.  As the chicken struggled in vain to escape, he continued with the painful denuding until the bird was completely stripped.
 
“Now you watch,” Stalin said as he placed the chicken on the floor and walked away with some breadcrumbs in his hand.  Incredibly, the fear-crazed chicken hobbled toward him and clung to the legs of his trousers.  Stalin threw a handful of grain to the bird, and it began to follow him around the room.
 
He turned to his dumbfounded colleagues and said quietly, “This is the way to rule the people.  Did you see how that chicken followed me for food, even though I had caused it such torture?  People are like that chicken.  If you inflict inordinate pain on them, they will follow you for food the rest of their lives.”

Rusty & Student Pilots / Re: Old books still useful for new students?
« on: January 04, 2021, 08:01:22 PM »
I have reference materials from the late 80's (when I finally took lessons and learned to fly).  The son of a friend is possibly interested in flying.  Some of this material would still be useful for a new student, yes?

Obviously the airspace designations have changed as well as the weather briefings/information and some avonics, but airplanes still fly the same and basic weather information is still the same, yes?

FAA.gov has free downloads of current training manuals.
