It Wasn't All Legs and Free Drinks.
They were also
nice to you. Pictures from the Golden Age of Air Travel—when, as
Glenn put it, "flying didn't suck."

And today? Neither legs nor free drinks. Not an improvement.

Plus, one is apparently not supposed to bring one's own legs aboard . . .
A friend who doesn't fly much tells me air travel is too cheap: that it *ought* to cost more, and if it did quality would go up.
I dunno: right now I'm pinching pennies, but I wasn't always. And flying has been awful for a good number of years.

Maybe if the government bailed them out again service would approve.
HAHA! right...

When people start holding chickens on their laps, it's time to hitch a ride on Nancy Pelosi I.

Nancy! Why didn't I think of her? SAVE US, O EGALITARIAN ONE!

Maybe on the way back. Don't forget your chicken!

Gagdad Bob
On the history of mankind:
Part I, and
Part II.
The thrust of the second installment is how marriage began as an institution for the protection of women and children, as Bob-my-sparring partner likes to point out.
Discuss amongst yourselves; I'll be engaged in Productive Activity today. Not my favorite thing to do, but it's sometimes necessary.

Slow around here lately.
Anyway, in spite of his light-hearted presentation, _I_ thought
Gagdad's story was (quite literally) killer stuff.
Murder or marriage may not seem much of a choice to us
today, but that would be an anachronistic interpretation
of the situation.
In the comments he suggests that marriage is what made
culture(s) even possible.

Are we supposed to comment or just discuss among ourselves? I did do the assigned reading even though it is a weekend, by the way. That should count for something.

You have to comment here, so I can monitor the quality of the discussion. This will bear on your "work habits" and "cooperation" marks.

Just as we need you, AG, to provide context, etc. to the discussion, I think people really do better with religion when they have priests/rabbis to do likewise. Imagine where we would be otherwise with devoid-of-context quotes like "Suffer the little children".
I'd lose the "coons" scattered throughout the otherwise serious discussion, if I were the author. I learned that the hard way many years ago. I think Al Gore needs to add a few "coons" if anyone is to take him seriously, though. Academy-Award-winner Al Gore, that is!
