I can think of thousands if not millions of human beings that deserve no
respect.


I can think of no one who deserves no respect. They may also deserve
justice. They may not deserve mercy. But everyone deserves respect.

I don't think anyone deserves respect other that children under the age
of accountability. Beyond that you either earn respect or you don't.
Justice and mercy are different in my opinion. Everyone deserves
justice and most deserve mercy.

And being willing to balance justice and mercy are the essence of
respect, as I see it. A bin Laden may deserve execution. It may even be
merciful to execute him. It would therefore be disrespectful not to
execute him. It would also be disrespectful to his victims.

Don't knock it until you've tried it... grin

And as I sit here this morning, waiting to catch a plane to Manila
where I will have surgery for a hernia,

Just out of curiosity, why are you travelling to Manila for the surgery?

The local hospitals are substandard, to say the least. Also, doctors
here have a way of prescribing whatever procedures are most profitable,
whether they are necessary or not. A number of our missionaries have
been threatened with unnecessary appendectomies when all they had was
gastroenteritis. The best Filipino doctors and nurses have a habit of
leaving the country. Actually, I am not all that excited about Manila,
either, but at least we have an American doctor there who will review
everything.

It probably works as well as strapping magnets to your bod, which was
all the rage in America a few years back. :-)

1. Is the ATC responsible for making sure the aircraft is on the correct
runway?


No. But in Canada they do make sure the runway is clean before issuing a
take off clearance. They catch many things this way. They are supposed
to use the window.

They do that in the US as well, and there's no reason to believe the
controller at LEX didn't do it before clearing Comair.
