Well they might - who knows - but it could be more pay than they are currently receiving and the traveling public may get a lower fare - who knows - free market concept Yes lower fares. But, of course, the traveling public is also on the down escalator with their wages so it won't really matter. You are probably right here - the public, both traveling and taxpaying are getting hosed

Good grief, krickitt! You're not the only one to have seen the freaking smite button! It's a glitch! Where do you come up with the idea that someone who posts here is out to get you because you saw a bloody smite button?!?

In this country, your right to peaceable protest is protected. Whether you like what a given group is protesting over, or not, they've got the right to do so. If you're going to bellow about not having your rights infringed upon, don't be so quick to start infringing on those who don't believe as you do.

Yes, the Communists will call for support throughout the 50 states, and hold their meeting in...a phonebooth. And not a real one either, the truncated model that replaced them. But there will still be those who will yell from the rooftops (or start threads): [glow=red,2,300]BEWARE!!! Communists[/glow]

I'd be surprised if all unions didn't stand in support of the teacher's union in WI. They're not stupid. If one falls, they're all endangered. The result could impact a lot more than airlines, I'm afraid.

I'd agree, toughtimes. When you get a bunch of people together who have taken sides, trouble is bound to follow.

Those of us with impulse control do not fear when the smite button appears. We are able to resist the temptation. Can you krickett?

Yep, dez. Commies everywhere. They're in your closet late at night, and under your bed. If you've got an ironing board, look behind it. There's probably a commie hiding there. They're gonna get'cha!

Most don't fear it, toughtimes. It's the flipside of the Exalt function, only it's been disabled because people weren't able to control themselves. If you smite someone, you take away their precious karma, even to negative figures! O, NOEZ! Some folks occasionally see the darned thing show up. It's some sort of glitch.

Coming up next on Fox News Investigations..... The random appearances of smite buttons across the interwebs.... Have you been smited without your knowledge? Is smiting against the constitution? What rights are being violated by this random smiting? How many of our tax dollars go towards smiting? What Obama & the liberals don't want you to know about it.... And how the Republicans are taking this issue head on and have a plan for the evil smite buttoners. Plus the input from Tea Partiers on this vital issue to all Americans, special guest appearance by Sarah Palin!.... stay tuned for...."Smiting in America an undercover investigation into random smite buttons" .

I could care less if people want to gather at the request of an avowed communist activist, but if I want to express my opinion about Van Jones, I have that right, also. Some of us objected when he was appointed, and it turned out we were right, didn't it, since he "resigned" because he is too radical for Washington. I just wonder how many of those people knew this was organized by someone Obama had to eject because he is too radical. This tight little group gets around, and I doubt they care much about the herds.

".......The airlines may not completely shut down but there can be many work slowdowns and sick outs which disrupt flights............"
I believe I'd be careful about bandying reference to "sick-outs" around as it relates to air crews. Y'see, they have a thing called the "Federal Aviation Regulations", the FAR's) that they bump into when they "call in sick". Playing loose and fanciful with the FAR's has been the cause of more than just a few air crew members to no longer be, or hope to ever again be, air crew members.

They will make a movie about me: 'Hush Hush Sweet Tennesseer' with my character thanking Olivia de Havilland and her wicked wicked ways.

you are being just a tad bit - just a tad bit here - jerky - just saying ********************************** there are posters calling for the rounding up and execution of all liberals and this is what is 'jerky'? LOLOLOLOL yeah, okay..... I haven't read that here or seen that here - only the posted youtube that was a thought years ago - by the left - and found to be very repugnant. If I have missed something, please direct to the post and then I will throw a hissy fit.

let's just say you know exactly what post I'm talking about and have decided to see it as a 'response' to a radical who made the statement years and years ago.... I see it differently and find it horrifying. but as far as "jerky".... if the post in question was just a 'joke' and you can't grasp that what I posted was just a joke, then not my problem if your sense of humor is more into killing off Americans because they have different political views than a slight jab at Fox news. To each their own I guess......

What is the saying about it is not being paranoid to think people are out to get you when there really are people out to get you?? Something like that. There are a few people that would LOVE to see me out of here, and one could make it happen-- if I allow myself to fall in the traps. Not going to happen, kids.

I'm sorry krickitt, but you need to get over yourself. What makes you think you're so important, so intimidating, so irritating that others might want to see you out of here? Frankly, I don't think most folks care that much to see anyone gone. If you don't care for someone's style, you can always skip their posts, can't you? I do it all the time. Consequently, I don't think there's anyone here I'd want to see sent packing, unless they started posting porn, or something equally offensive. Just for disagreeing with me, or having a different point of view? Nah. That happens every day in the real world. It's part of life. You're just a grain of sand amongst all the others. Life's a beach.
