just thinking about this bit by arthur silber…

The idea that the United States operates or even could operate to any significant degree like a vast town meeting of 300 million people is utter nonsense … when one considers the actual nature and predilections of far too many Americans, if their “will” were to be fully realized, the results might well horrify even those who regularly offer their sentimental, empty, cloying appeals to Americans’ inherent “goodness.”

maybe too far, too general a response to what the story deserves, but yep, idiots.

I recently completed some travels myself. It’s always frustrating: shoes off, laptop out, dignity gone. I’m sorry that the security people were such bastards to you. Airline security is an illusion anyway, but most people don’t want to realize that. Maybe someday it will get better.

I haven’t commented b/c I don’t know what to say. But this is a beautiful piece of writing about a very sucky thing.
