Traveling will be so much nicer when the down class leisure traveller and MR'er can't afford to travel so much. Think of the good 'ole days when the plebians couldn't afford to travel.
I think all of you people who do MR's for entertainment, etc. should maybe try going to a movie.
Sounds like a person who looks over the reams of his bisected glasses to say "You don't need to do the things I do!" then goes back to reading his newspaper in ignorance. In other words, a snotty post indeed.
Travelling is SO much convinent those days thanks to the jet engine and I will NOT let one person like you spoil those people's ambitions for MR's for status!
One last thing in closing, do you really want everybody to swim in the ocean to their events?
Think about that one when you fly at 30,000 feet to your next destination in your big seat.
Sanosuke!
