For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for July 07, 2012

or a screaming baby on board a plane.

this would SO not happen today!

I do have to fly. At least they tell you a million times what you can and can’t take on. You’d have to be blind and deaf not to know what they allow.

I think you may be dealing with a bit of dyslexia: those who want to take us back to the Gilded Age, or perhaps even the Feudal Age, are traditionally referred to as the Right wing, not the left.

Taking our rights away as Republicans do is progress? Starting 2 wars and stealing from the poor to give to the wealthy is PROGRESS? You need to quit drinking the kol-aid.

I know, EH

Actually, some airlines have started banning babies from all flights, some others from select flights.

Dr Phil an idot

progress? Yeah, becuase making a woman feel like a whore if she wants reasonable, affordable access to birth control like her male counterparts enjoy is progress…..

Just use UPS to ship your luggage. It cost less than the airport fees and no TSA crap. I know a man that works at a hotel and he tells me that have a room set aside just to store the luggage shipped to them until the people get there.

Lots of babies cry on planes during takeoff and landing, because the change in air pressure makes their ears hurt. My ears, hurt, too, but I refrain from squalling.

Plus c’est change, plus c’est la meme chose! Amazingly timely, considering this was written decades ago!

You know it’s in Canada because if it was at the Houston Airpport politeness is out of style.

I love babies…especially when their not on my plane, in my home or in my care. But I really love kids….lol

I used to have a cure for crying babies. Just pat them gently on the mouth: Wah wah wah wah (1) Would either break out laughing or(2) Get really rip-snorting mad!!

“I will not be getting a passport….I left the job”. That’s not all you left. You also gave up some of your freedom to them. They won. And that’s nothing to LOL about. You should have fought back.

I flew to London and back in 2001, the summer just before 9/11. Since then I’ve flown in 2002, and again last year. I will swear on a stack of bibles that they are making the planes smaller. On my flight last year, the seats were definitely narrower than any previous flight, and the aisle was most definitely narrower – even narrower than the seats!Never again Delta.

I remember that monologue so well. Thanks for reminding me of it.

renewed1: You don’t recall it because: a. you have selective memory; b. because you never protested injustice so you never saw the little bug-like thingies taking your picture for the government dossier-compilers; c. the armed ones were usually over some other country’s civilian airspace.
