The old format was concise and gave me text more than pictures. A picture may be worth a thousand words -- but not in this case. It seems I just keep scrolling & scrolling to get to the end, and lately, I just give up and move on. You just hate having it rammed down your throat.
Almighty Google, how about offering your humble news readers a choice? Harken to our prayer and allow a checkbox to appear that allows your servants to read news the old way. There will be great rejoicing!
Folks, as a former graduate of our Air Force Academy and a jet instructor pilot -- please don't portray those pilots as victims! They were both doing what they loved and they certainly knew the risks involved. I'm not sure what type of ejection seats the craft had, but they also both knew that a serious malfunction at those altitudes and speeds was not going to be survivable.
Knowing all that -- I would gladly take their place and I know a lot of folks who would do the same. One of my classmates became a shuttle pilot. I didn't make it that far. But if I had the $250,000 to fly to edge of space as a passenger, I would gladly take the risk -- and please don't call me stupid or a victim.
We seem to forget what freedom really means. We get to make our own individual choices, don't impose your life algorithm on me.
