    Wow! Lots of things to think about here and SO right. The next time I scramble my way through security and get on a plane, I will look around and say, “WOW, this is amazing, I am in a chair in the sky!” Great perspective!

    Do the same takeoff using education in todays world. 1/4 of college students believe they should get a “B” for attending class, another think a “B” for reading the material. H.S. student’s grades are changed by principals if parents complain. Absences cannot be used to influence grades. etc, etc.

    This is so funny - the instantaneous and ungrateful generation is alive and well. But then again, they haven’t known much else. We should remember how blessed we are in this country.

    Time to return to life as it was back in the 40s and 50s.

    We have made this mess and only we can clean it up.

    See, Listen, learn, give your heart and hand to all People places and things in need. Then stop, close your eyes, and know that it is our Lord Jesus Christ at work!

    Dy Bennett you are exactly the kind of spoiled idiot he is talking about. A lot of us still remember what it is like to have ice delivered to your house to keep the food cool(not cold), eating what you planted, hoed and weeded, and television on a 10″ screen in black and white. The broadcast was only for certain hours a day.

    I realized the old days where gone when I saw them fight a real war on tv.

    This country is so blessed. The man is right, Dy.

    We can thank our Congress and Legislature for the mess we have. It is called greed. Time for them to do their jobs that they were elected for. It is time for Americans to say enough is enough. Come on-do the right thing for us. A very disappointed American.

    I feel like all those that read and answered this email. God help us.

    It is evident from the post that someone did.

    And to add insult to injury, you are flying through the air, experiencing the miracle of flight and they serve you lunch.

    I think this hits the nail on the head! I’m going to send this to everyone in my address book and hopefully they will do the same thing. We really are a blessed country and need to be hugely thankful.
