Not everyone can be bought.
Eventually, everyone dies.
Concentrate on those two facts.

Not sure about the connection you are trying to make, if I am to die, wouldn't that mean I should sell myself before then.
Of course I am not going to sell myself cheaply, but wouldn't selling be a good thing to do?

If you sold yourself for 1 cent, or a billion dollars, 5 seconds before you died...would it matter?
Maybe if you had children...and the government took a cut...

You mean outside of the time between the time I sold and the time I died when I could be enjoying myself?

Southwest Air is a total cattle-carry airline. They have the gall to charge extra if you want a better place in line, did I say line? Yes, they do not allow you to reserve a seat. They cut flights to crush them deeper, they once got a big following by being cheap, now that they are killing the comp. in classic monopolistic style, they up their fares.
Thanx. Jimmy Carter.

You mean the procedure where the Bush adminstration threatens to charge you with espionage under the Protect America Act and his unitary authority to rule that revealing the potential flaws in the airline regulatory system would help the enemies of the Bush administration, requiring that you spend millions defending yourself? That whistle blower protect program?

What are you, some sort of big government regulation leftist who thinks air travel should be restricted to the liberal elite?

Jimmy Carter deregulated the airlines and gave us Southwest type treatment.

I saw on the news today that NWA is also down to 1 checked baggage.

Is Southwest treatment that which conservative wish to be served with, or the service that the liberal elite think conservatives deserve?
