If it weren’t for the profits of big oil and gas would so many planes be flying in the air? Would useless wars be fought at the farthest possible point, in some of the most worthless places on earth? Big oil and gas profit from every industry in the world. All transportation, everything that goes on they profit from. There is no better way to generate usage than to fight wars. Airplanes are probably their biggest money makers.
What, if any loss do they ever accumulate? The bill still gets payed to the gas and oil companies in one way or another. This natural resource has got to be the root of all evil in the world. The root of war and organized crime. All generated by the lust and greed of evil men.

The performance of the TSA continues to resemble that of the United States Navy on the morning of December 7,1941. In the case of the TSA it is, in fact, even worse and is unlikely to ever improve. If we are required to sit in our seats during the last hour of a flight, I for one, have a bladder problem and plan to piss in the seat pocket in order to obtain relief. Perhaps the airlines will sell Flomax from he aisle cart to passangers who can produce a physicians perscription. All of this insanity could be eliminated if passangers were required to wear hospital gowns on all flights and were not permitted to carry any electronic devices. “Honey we just landed and I will be home soon” is not a message that requires immediate transmission. I’m also looking for people interested in forming a new airline which I propose to call Air Nude or Nude Air. After all we already have Virgin Air which in many instances hardly lives up to its name. Air Nude’s only requirement will be that passengers wear blindfolds and paper flipflops. They must also agree not to complain about the temperature in the cabin. There will be no-no fly lists or intrusive searches by robotic morons who ask them if they packed their own luggage. Moreover Air Nude passangers will avoid being subjected to full body x-ray examination, a process which is known to increase the risk of cancer. Terrorists will have a much more difficult time finding people who are willing to carry explosive devices in their body cavities. Moreover the logo of Air Nude will be a gloved finger which should be a strong deterrent to those who are on the body cavity search list.
