is the following news item a portender of more denegeration (read in conjunction with what happened earlier with the failed sale of obama's senate seat!!)
"[T]he Louisiana Republican Senator David Vitter arrived Thursday evening at his United Airlines gate 20 minutes before the plane was scheduled to depart, only to find the gate had already been closed. Undeterred, Vitter opened the door, setting off a security alarm and prompting an airline worker to warn him that entering the gate was forbidden.Vitter, our spy said, gave the airline worker an earful, employing the timeworn "do-you-know-who-I-am" tirade that apparently grew quite heated.That led to some back and forth, and the worker announced to the irritable Vitter that he was going to summon security.Vitter, according to the witness, remained defiant, yelling that the employee could call the police if he wanted to and their supervisors, who, presumably, might be more impressed with his Senator's pin.But after talking a huffy big game, Vitter apparently thought better of pushing the confrontation any further. When the gate attendant left to find a security guard, Vitter turned tail and simply fled the scene. Adding insult to injury, the latest report is that the TSA is investigating the incident. If found to be in violation of TSA regulations, Vitter could face thousands of dollars in fines."
"another recent aviation incident, in which Sen. Charles E. Schumer persuaded a US Airways shuttle to depart New York early so he could make an important vote."
and to think that only in third world countries this kind of pulling rank happened? has the recession pushed america into a third world country too? SAVE america so that the teeming billions of the world can continue to aspire for living the "american dream" - for without this thirst from the teeming billions of the world there would be no demand for the dollar and hence no "dollar dreams" as well.

People are people are people...a rose by another name... You get the picture. I would rather say that such things are only finding space in newspapers here in America. I refuse to believe that people haven't pulled rank all these years in this country. At the same time, the other part, that people can become something without pulling rank is also true in this country and sometimes in ours too.
ReplyDeletevidu - true very true. the article though was poking fun at the illusory strength of the dollar derived from this aspiration for the dollar dream..
