My personal comfort comes before whatever you think I look like when I'm on a plane.
And that, sadly, has become the American attitude. It is all about
ME and what
I want. The heck with everyone else or their opinion. If
I want to dress like a slob, then tough..don't look. If
I feel that
I have been delayed too long, then the heck with you,
I have a right to act as uncivilized as
I wish, verbally abuse you, embarass you, and generally make you feel terrible because
I have been inconvienced. Look how we have grown as a country. Our parents may have been old fashioned and worried about what others thought, but we could stand to learn about self pride and getting along with others from them. Maybe thats what we get for letting MTV raise our children. I'm glad the FA decided to turn it over to the LEOs instead of just standing there and taking more abuse from an angry elitist.
