I find it surprising that neither of the venues for his talks was equipped for teleconferencing, thus making it necessary for him to appear in person. I also think that the argument that Flight 35 would have gone with or without him is actually hurting his case. It's analogous to the Tragedy of the Commons: the damage done is minute on a per passenger basis, but collectively large. If that's the best justification, better not to mention it and draw attention to the fact. His decision to stay on in Maui for a few days is mitigating: it increases the benifits of the trip substantially but the costs only slightly. - a guest Fri, 30 Mar 2007 13:14:08 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/1270-zowie-kunstler.html#comment-1769 I don't see the purpose in apologizing for your flight. While Gore got slammed for his personal home consumption, it was purely for the lack of any real attack on his message...attack the messenger or ad hominem. It's absurd. For those aware of Peak Oil, learning how to conserve and modifying your lifestyle to fit into a more energy tight future is critical. But my kids will still get a trip to Disney each and every year...until we can't anymore. - a guest Wed, 28 Mar 2007 16:46:04 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/1270-zowie-kunstler.html#comment-1757 Your vacation sounded like mine coming from Fort lauderdale to Cancun. Fly Spirit airlines, and see how clusterfuck it is checking in and the agents are slow, and by the time two hours international check in comes and goes you are told that the flight is closed out one hour before and sorry you can't get on board. We will rebook you on the next flight tomorrow. I don't enjoy traveling anymore by plane. The service you get from Spirit Airlines, is the worst as it comes. They really don't care you lost your flight and once you write the letter to the company they just write you back and say sorry we hope you come back and try us again. I don't think so. I think the corporate office is smoking crack. Maybe one day aviation will come back to the elite. We just have to stop flying and run the bad ones out of business.
