Problem there. He deserves no more special treatment than you or I.
I don't know where you're going with this. As far as the plane with the US president goes, I don't have a problem with him getting special treatment, due to security considerations. Where I'm "going with this" is he's not feeling the effects of his own syndicate's takeover of civil liberties. It is not acceptible to ground civilian traffic in order for him to come into a town in order to garnish support. |

Neither the President nor members of Congress ever really feal the effects of their own actions. They might act more in the interest of the nation rather than themselves if they did. |

![]() Where I'm "going with this" is he's not feeling the effects of his own syndicate's takeover of civil liberties. This is true of everyone in government and most people in business and academia. Hell, it's true of people in general. Many's the day I hiked from the Metro stop to the terminal at National Airport, sweating past and cursing at the exclusive (and no-fee) parking lot set aside for Members of Congress. It's not just Bush, and it's not just the prezdint. Most people earning over $100K are relieved of many of the hassles suffering by the plebes. When you get up past $1 million, you are relieved of most of them. Nelson Rockefeller famously didn't carry any money with him. When he wanted to toss a dime to an urchin, he got one from one of his aides. all the best -- Dan Ford email: www.danford.net/letters.htm#9 see the Warbird's Forum at http://www.danford.net/index.htm Vietnam | Flying Tigers | Pacific War | Brewster Buffalo | Piper Cub |
