That's why I say we should get the government out of it.

No problem here. But the bitching and whining and bellyachin' will be the same. You know that... right?

We're a culture of whiners. A trip across country that took our forefathers six ~months~ to do, now takes six hours. If that six hours becomes ten... we whine about how gruelling the trip was and now we'll never fly that airline again... yadda yadda yadda...

The difference will be that when you put it into the private sector people will be allowed to vote with their feet and go to the competition who might have a more intelligent approach to things.

The other difference is that people won't be intimidated by government officials with unreasonable searches which is a violation of the Constitution.

I don't think we are a nation of whiners. I think we are becoming a nation of sheep. I think people are being programmed to think they are children and the government is their parents and I think too many of us are buying into that notion.

The founders wanted the security of this free state to be in the hands of people, not government. I believe they were right. If the passengers on those planes on Sept 11 had been armed, and had not been programmed to act like sheep when threatened, we would not be in this mess.

We need to grow up and act like free people, not bend over and let some government goon stick his finger up our butt.
