I have traveled for a living for over 18 years now.
It used to be that I looked forward to the new issues of sci-am, and discover for reading material on the endless planes.
I started getting really annoyed with both magazines around 2000. I finally had had it during the election of 2004, when an article went on and on and on about how horrible bush was for the environment and how awesome kerry was...throughout the article, every time president bush was referred to, it was simply “Bush”, whereas every time Kerry was refered to, it was always “Senator Kerry”.
At the time, pretty much every article in each magazine, no matter what it was about always had to reference the impact of global warming. Kind of like the wonderful shows on the discovery channel that are on today, where it is very interesting, but you absolutely must turn the show off 10 minutes before it ends, because the last 10 minutes are always a diatribe about how the incredible nature things you have just seen are super-endangered from global warming.
Makes me sick
They have jumped the shark.
