I am awiaiting a response. it would take only a matter of weeks for the eradacation program to begin. An infastructure has to be created. Then meetings with top officials to inform them of the program and how and when it will be implimented.

On the ot...Interesting point G regarding banks. <br /><br />On the other hand those reports are so complex in the first place that 99% of the population wouldn't know a thing about them if not for some media hound "massaging" the report into something that will cause the economy as a whole to take yet another dive. <br /><br />The economy is good news and sneaky, thieving banks are REALLY good news. Even if they report exactly the same numbers that they have for the last 30 years no industry hack worth her salt is going to let that slow down a good story. <br /><br />Just call the report "massaged" call it "misleading" call it "complex" say that it "disguises how near failure they are" and suddenly you have people repeating your story everywhere... maybe even posting links to YOUR story and bumping your bonus for next year. <br /><br />Hiding data isn't going to change anything. It'll just put people with a real hunger for knowledge from checking the facts that are spewed by the media (both sides) in an ever increasing spiral of sensationalism and suffering. <br /><br />Aviatrix shares a link from the Onion.

Have you studied for example, how the unemployment definitions are "massaged" to sanitize the high rates? Or how the recent bank reports are allowed to report toxic debt and capital on hand to disguise how near failure many are?<br /><br />Likewise war casualties - both "ours" and "theirs."<br /><br />Is this a ridiculous idea to seal bird strike data.

More like sensationalists that are out to create a story (and a dollar) at the expense of reality.<br /><br />In general, I'm not a fan of hiding information simply on the basis that it might be misinterpreted. A lot of information collected in the US that deals with race is overhandled due to this concern.<br /><br />Sure, people will abuse information, but you deal with the abuse rather than hide the data. Just like you don't shut down the Internet because some people steal music on it, or shut down the highways because there's car theft.dpiercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397601206317363858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-38552277470332403442009-04-23T01:23:00.000+00:002009-04-23T01:23:00.000+00:00Hard to imagine any pilot would worry about a bird...Hard to imagine any pilot would worry about a bird strike report being made public...unless he/she did something very dumb.
