Quote of the Moment

  Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled. You’ve got to relax, let it happen at times, and at others move forward with it.

    ---Ray Bradbury

 

 

My religion encompasses all religions. I believe in God, I believe in the universe. I believe you are god, I believe I am god; I believe the earth is god and the universe is god. We're all god

No-Fly List for the stupid? Yes, please!

    I'd love to go and fly again sometime. Recently it's been difficult, you know, with the pandemic and all. I've only been flying a few times (to Las Vegas, of all places!). First time in the early '90s for my mother-in-la's family reunion (they mainly live on the West Coast); second time, back to Vegas just for a vacation. Nice place. Love to go to, say, New Orleans, or Seattle or some other place. You know, an actual trip.

    But, dumb always rises to the surface, and airlines are no exceptions.
 There have been too many stories about people going off the rails since flying was reintroduced not that long ago: being annoying, obnoxious, getting into altercations with other passengers (and flight attendants, as well). Yes, I know people have been doing dumb shit on planes before the pandemic, but they've seem to be increased since then. At first, we didn't want to fly because of the virus scare; could we catch it while in the plane? Maybe. Why take a chance? Now, it's mainly because of the stupid a-holes who feel that rules don't apply to THEM, and can do whatever they want, including ignoring the wearing of masks and being civil. And it's not just because they're in the back of the plane, either. Hell, some moron IN FIRST CLASS punched out a flight attendant, knocking out teeth, simply because SHE BUMPED INTO HIM. SO it's not just a 'depends on where they sit' scenario.

   What can be done? Kicked off the flight? Check. Heavy fines? Check. Arrest them? Check and check!
   What else? How about putting them on a No-Fly list?
  Look, if you thought that you'd never be able to fly again, I think a LOT of the issues would correct themselves. Not all; I'm not that naive. But I think most.
Let's be honest. How would they like it, if the entire family were flying to Disneyland, but they couldn't? Or if their work wanted to send them to their office out of state, but they had to drive for 12 hours to get there?  24 round trip? Probably wouldn't care for that too much. It's  all 'Fun and Games' and "MY FREEEEEEDUMS!!!" until you get in serious trouble over it. I have no problem with stupid people, winning stupid prizes, because they want to place stupid games.

   You're ruining it for the rest of us, you idiots.

   Ban them. It can't come soon enough.
