Liberty or Safety

The question comes up once again after a TSA security officer forced a 95 year old woman to remove an adult diaper. Err, what?

Yep, true.

Yep, crazy.

This story makes headlines because it's sooo out there, but should we be focused on the premise of what they are trying to do? First of all we do not have a right to fly on private airplanes traveling to and from various public airports. From that perspective none of our liberties are really being attacked regardless of the methods they may choose to use. We can simply choose not to to fly if we are so offended and maybe that is exactly what we should do...not fly.

Perhaps a message needs to be sent. Treat me like a terrorist and we'll do worse than any hijacker could. We'll put you out of business.

Wal-Mart Decision

I hate Wal-Mart. Really, really hate them. Love Costco, hate Wal-Mart.

Hate how they come into a small town and intentionally and without mercy attempt to detroy the small businesses that made the town. Too often they are successful.

All that said the Supreme court decision in their favor was the only just thing to do. There is no way that the plantiffs could demonstrate the sex discrimination was unwritten company policy. I hope those ladies who were truly discriminated against proceed with individual suits and I hope there are some attorneys who have the guts to take those cases. 

This country needs tort reform and this was a step in the right direction. Congrats Wal-Mart... damn it hurts to say that.
