Okay. I believe we aren't giving ourselves enough credit for the huge impact and success our social programs, including quota legislation, have become. To improve both, the lives of those born to little advantage and a workforce deriving the benefit of large scale skill advancement. At the same time, I find it counter productive to assign the blame for filling prisons and jails solely on the law enforcement apparatus that puts them there. Cops didn't create the turf war. It should come as no surprise to any informed American that present conflicts have exploded under the added weight of an economic crisis. We have ignored slums, gang crime, homelessness, endemic white collar rip-offs and a laundry list of other unattended social pathologies far too long. What frosts me, is AA management. Like they're the folks to step up and fix this now, all of a sudden. It's unprofessional and as others have mentioned, a reckless affront to the order and safety upon which an airline's commitment to the paying passenger lives. You and I aren't that far apart. My apologies.
