"people with countenance problems"

It would be good if such people would look the other way, but I doubt if this is what you meant.

Er, excuse me, but Intel was the biggest gainer of the SOXX group today, in both dollars and cents and percentage. When's the last time anyone saw that?

Good discussion on one of the Bay Area radio shows today about heightened security measures and whether they should be considered, maybe started by Ellison's offer to provide software free for an "ID card", or smart chip card for all people to have to carry. Naturally, the show host was "agin" it. Roll it on out, could even help guess who's sales.

Excellent rant about guns on planes.

Hi John, RE: "women that wear 16 ounces of perfume"

Perfume and colognes should be banned from flights.

This is definitely a big issue, especially for the millions of people that have allergies.

When the airline industry cut back on the fresh air supply in the cabin by ~60% in ~1994, they should have also banned perfumes and cologne. If they take the fresh air away, they should take the pollutants away too.

I can't tell you the number of trips I've been on where a passenger has decided to perfume spray themself (and all those around) just before take-off, resulting in the immediate and uncomfortable shuffling of the feet of nearby passengers because they were struggling to breathe. I always wondered, "why spray just before take-off?" Why not wait until after landing.

You're a guy, so tell me, do guys really like perfume?

It's diffcult to breathe in strong perfumes/colognes and there's no law protecting workers from this either. The law lets people potentially negatively impact others in an office, but the law doesn't protect people's right to breathe.

Regards,
Amy J
