Reason, schmeason….
How dare the government set rules as to what I can do, or say, when I am on a plane. How dare they make mothers take a sip of what they carry for their “babies”. How dare they make me wear socks on a plane because I have to take my shoes off when I go through the security line at the airport.
I am outraged.
This all goes back to what’s-his-name a few days ago who was bitching about civil liberties. OF COURSE I don’t mind taking my shoes off, checking my shaving cream and shampoo- and I mean really, who gets all twisted up about not being able to carry-on sunscreen ?! That is the penultimate of NOT FRIGGIN IMPORTANT !! You’d need SPF values that can only be expressed in scientific notation if the damn plane explodes.
This is not a civil liberty. I am a smoker. I get a little honked that I can’t carry a lighter on a plane, but it is not a violation of my civil liberties. It is an inconvenience, and a minor one at that.
This point keeps getting lost, and the CT Dems just prove it, but this is where this country seems to be. It must be nice to have such blind ability to discard serious danger, to walk down the street oblivious to reality.
Me- I wanna live for a good, long time. I’ve flown some times lately on pretty short notice. I’ve had my luggage rifled through. I’ve been pulled out for the “extra check”. I’m polite, cooperative, and available. It wouldn’t bother me if I had to do that every time. It’s an inconvenience- especially since I can’t get to the airport 4 hrs early, go through the security line, and sit, have a beer and a smoke, and wait…
We’re gonna hear a lot of discounting of these new threats. And there will be more as 9/11 approaches….. They are starting now, actually. How someone can claim that this is all just a Bush/Blair attempt to distract the media from a Lieberman loss… you people need to tighten up your tin-foil hats.
There are thousands of people in this world- Muslim extremists- who want to kill every American they meet. KILL ! Why can’t the left in this country see that for just what it is ?!
