The great “I am”.
“Am is a verb. As the main verb, am is the singular first person form of "to be," which can be a linking verb. Examples of am as the main verb can be found in the sentences "I am"
Being a computer Luddite. I marvel at the many clever things these machines can effortlessly do, in seconds. For example, take any one of the 'Popinjay' rambles as he fronts the media; then in the printed versions try to count up how many times he says “I am, etc”. Start to finish, Granddaughter took 4 minutes to winnow an astounding number of times the bearded Popinjay draws attention to himself in the form of “I am”. Choc frog for whoever guesses nearest to the correct number. (Oh, then compare it to the NTSB directors count. Don't bother, there is no competition there; Popinjay streets her 14 to 1.
Now, Clay had a righteous claim to that title; tested and proven in the school of hard knocks. But, far from providing righteous rulings on fatal accidents and real 'in-depth' analysis, let alone a knock-out punch on known aviation 'killers' we get this weak kneed twaddle, form Mr 'I am' doled out after long periods of time signifying 'por nada'.
Three fatal events - Broome 'operation', the 'Croc Egg' fiasco and (IMO) the Sea world debacle ALL demand a seriously deep look into the way CASA have conducted their end of these fatal sagas. There are some serious holes in the CASA knitting, holes which ATSB should be highlighting, belting the crap out of 'em instead of 'gas-lighting' in the media.
It's BOLLOCKS!– a self protection scheme from which the only value for the money invested is to those within 'the system' – and the incumbent minister of course.
Toot (ever so slightly P'd off)– toot.
