MONDAY MORSELS
I ask: "Just where do we draw the line between Civil Rights and Laws of the Land?" This article I read this past week, well....it makes me cringe to think that he is being held on a large sum for bond by the courts. All because his jeans/pants were hanging low? Ummmmm, what gives? Was he trying to expose himself? Was he mentally incapable of making a proper decision? Was he actually a threat on the flight? READ it HERE. Now, granted, I find the ways of wearing apparel sometimes a bit far fetched and somewhat brazen, but hey...a right is a right is a right!! And, to me, it would be offensive to view on the first glance. But, only in style. I can't just purely judge someone by his/her sense of what they wear or how they wear it. I remember the craze of wearing layers of underwear as outer garments....brought on by none other than M@donna and her music videos on MTV. And taking trips, I would see in the airports around the country other girls emanating the same behavior and carriage of themselves. I say no harm, no foul. We all have idols. And we all have individual tastes.

I think the 'security' of airports and the actions of the airline crews are getting a bit carried away with their new-found authority. Just several days ago, I read another Y@hoo article where they actually turned a plane around [burning excessive fuel and making other passengers late for arrival and connecting flights]......all because one lone passenger said the offensive swear word that begins with F and ends in K?!!! [the online article is here] Offensive? Perhaps to some. But to turn a plane around and escort the one who uses offensive swear words, without obstruction in any way, of the flight itself....ridiculous!! Of course that is my opinion. As the article's comments states by one, travelers have to put up with ill-mannered children with or without parents supervision during a long flight; but in turn they remain on the flight with everyone being disturbed in some way or another.

Again, I think it's the newly assigned authorities given to flight attendants and they're abusing that!!!!
