The Unsilent Generation

James Ridgeway is an interesting man. He has been a prominent American investigative journalist for many years.

His blog called Unsilent Generation says that it “is a site for people who don’t believe that getting old means getting dumb, getting conservative, getting complacent, or getting used to spending your days driving a golf cart to early bird dinner specials. It’s a site for people who know that old age doesn’t have to be a slow shuffle toward the grave.”

Recently he wrote an excellent article on why the composite materials construction techniques used by the European manufacturer of the Airbus may be responsible for the recent in-flight break up and crash of Air France flight 447. He notes that “To some observers, this bears a striking resemblance to the loss of the tail in the devastating American Airlines 587 crash in New York in November 2001. That plane was an Airbus 300” which has a tail construction very similar to the A330 which broke up mid-air over the middle of the Atlantic Ocean in Air France flight 447.

He also has written good articles on the Obama administration’s efforts at so called health care reform, as opposed to the issue which most people call universal health care.
