Dear Friends: "Let's get things back into Perspective!"
If Americans have any delusions at all about what type of a society they are living in ......, then they should watch THIS: ( I can be self righteous about this since it would NEVER happen here in Canada. We are a lot more civilized than that.)
That's right folks, those are cops dragging a passenger off the plane!
What did the guy do?
Make a terrorist threat?
Attempt to hijack the plane?
Exposed himself to the lady next to him?
NOPE!
This guy, (who is a doctor) was chosen by a computer to give up his seat since United airlines OVERBOOKED the flight.
First they offered him $800- to give up his seat, but when he still wouldn't go they called in the cops!!!!!!!
Now let this be a lesson to you kids that it doesn't matter if it's the government or a large corporation ....., when it comes down to the nitty-gritty you don't have any rights at all in the good ol' U. S. of A.

(Here is a statement from Derek Thompson a writer with "The Atlantic," who wrote the original article: In this way, the United video serves as a stark metaphor, one where the quiet brutalization of consumers is rendered in shocking, literal form. The first thought that I had watching the outrageous footage of a passenger being dragged through an aisle like a bag of trash was that this should never happen. But fundamentally, this is an old story: Companies in concentrated industries, like the airlines, have legal cover to break the most basic promise to consumers without legally breaking their contracts. The video is a scandal. But so is the law.)
