You missed the point. The whole process is dehumanizing due to how travelers are treated by airport and airline personnel.

I recently flew out of Moscow on Aeroflot. The ticketing personnel ushered us to the front of the line, as we had a young child with us. Everyone at the airport was professional and polite. We were ushered to the head of the line for pre-boarding. On the plane, the attendants took care of us the entire flight, taking extra time with our child. The atmosphere on the flight was relaxed and friendly. Then we boarded a series of US domestic carriers. What a contrast. We were never ushered to the front of any lines, we were treated rudely by personnel in the airports and especially on the planes. Just a terrible experience.

How one views murder of the unborn is THE issue for me. When a person no longer views another as made in the image of God, it is only a few short steps to view others as a means to an end. People become "small" (as Hayward recently said) and need overlords and masters.

Obama is for abortion. He also exploits and uses people (and events) without hesitation. Sorry, Mitch, although we need to address the debt, you won't have my vote.

KBH has done a lot of good things for Texas. That being said, all moderate Republicans (which is redundant) who served from 2000-2006 need to be shown the door. Anyone that wasn't/isn't shouting for fiscal conservatism is part of the problem.

1. Limit the amount of TV your children watch (for example, 4 hours a week).
2. Watch TV with them during this time.
3. Send your kids to private schools; keep them out of the liberal indoctrination centers.

Why would anyone abdicate their responsibility of parents and allow either the liberal educational system or liberal entertainment industry raise their kids?

After watching the MSM elect Obama, I for one will take my chances with the new media. When the last newspaper closes down, I will spit in the direction of the NY Times and say "Good riddance!"

As an American living in a foreign country, I am very sensitive to following the rule of law. Most foreigners have the impression that they have very few rights and zero entitlements. It's been like this throughout history.
