Always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.

Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts. C.S. Lewis, 1898 - 1963.

"The 57-year-old leapt out in a specially-designed space suit, reaching speeds of more than 1,300km/h.

He exceeded the speed of sound, setting off a small sonic boom, and set several skydiving records in the process."

No, though I'd like to.

It's might be cheaper to come here to Houston for two weeks and get your license. I recommend Skydive Spaceland, Houston ..... an excellent skydiving center with a strong emphasis on safety. If you take a vacation once a year anyway ..... that would be the time.

We've had a few sky dive deaths recently and some bad Hot Air balloon accidents. I'm keeping my feet on the ground thank you very much!
