Those of you with kids, be forewarned... losing it just a little bit could get you in serious trouble nowadays. Read here.
The key here is to completely empty all semblance if humanity from you when you get onto a plane. Become the perfect robot. Have no feelings and show no emotions. Be a compliant, obedient robot in all things. Showing even a little bit of annoyance is enough to get you in the Big House.
Obey... obey... obey...
Different topic... but a familiar one.
Seems things are worse in the UK. Read here.
Now remember the UK doesn't have the kind of fat on the calf the US has-- it has a much smaller economy and thus a much smaller cushion of failure should their fiat currency go south. Arguably though since they dovetailed onto the US and our way of doing things the last 10 years, they joined the same scale of financial mis-management with less protection. They figured perhaps if we here in the US were playing fast and loose that they would be safe doing the same and that somehow if things went bad for us they would only go bad for them on a similar smaller scale. Alas they were wrong. Instead it was more like a car trying to increase its milage by riding in the displaced air pocket created by an 18-wheeler. If the 18-wheeler crashes, the car near it will also crash. The crash won't be less-devastating because the car is smaller, but only more.
But on a happier note, our new president was just sworn in. I watched it here. His speech, which I am listening to right now, is very good and inspiring. But I just hope some of what he says will come to pass actually will. Let's hope this message of hope will become realized hopes. *sigh*, I try to be optimistic, but alas, I know, numbers just don't lie. I hope some rabbits can appear from some hats in the near future.
