anyone can be a little power mad facist in Dumbfuckistan American Airlines apologizes to passengers for mid-air 'orange juice' incident by WFAA staff Posted on December 17, 2009 at 8:32 AM DALLAS -- American Airlines apologized to passengers affected by a mid-air incident that apparently started when a passenger asked for orange juice. Earlier this month, John Reed, of California, said a flight attendant screamed at him when he asked her for orange juice on Flight 614. Reed said the flight attendant was condescending, and when he refused to go to the cockpit for a private conversation, he was given a federal warning. He was accused of threatening, intimidating and-or interfering with a flight. Other passengers support Reed's story and they gave their side of the story to officials. Wednesday, American said it contacted all of the passengers and has taken action against the flight attendant. American wouldn't give details on that action calling it a personnel issue. its a wonder the flight attendant didn't water board the poor guy with the orange juice

This is a mismash of emotionalisms...it connects dissimilar content and links them as inextricable evidence. Perhaps this is just another attempt to get with the holistic. if i said we are about to enter our finest hour...everyone would say...hey dont you get the dumbfuckistan thing? But....its important to understand the holistic picture, that means all of us. Few politicos ever mention that more than 51% never vote. preferring to allow voters to create the degree of dumbfuckistan that is acceptable to thier own self interest. multi valued reference spaces break the chain of predisposed intent. This guy speaking on behalf of his kids, is entitled to his conclusions, but his bandwidth begs indifference. missing rigor equals produced for specific consumption. 1T2 logics. same ole shit.

Not the best Jeremiad* about the US. The authors concentrate on morality, although they do touch on competence (Peter Principal) The problems are much more ones of competence than morality, although morality is a factor. >Bad decisions on long term foreign involvements (remaking Iraq) and allowing the gutting of US industries by various players (Japan, China, Europe, India) to achieve foreign policy objectives. >Excessive tolerance of political correctness and degrading of public education. The piece is ignorant of history, there have been numerous moral revivals in US history. *Jeremiad - en.wikipedia.org

<I wonder at times if our nation has entered a state of purgatory .....> Obviously the authors know nothing of the subject. Perhaps this venial sin of ignorance betrays a mortal error. As all true believers know, a soul sent to purgatory endures the fires akin to Hell, but persists in the knowledge that after cleansing the soul will be admitted to Paradise. To put this into mundane terms, it's like dying in Shanghai, having your soul purged for 3 years in Beijing, and finally being admitted to Hong Kong for everlasting bliss. wg
