WHY OUR COUNTRY IS IN TROUBLE  but hard to believe
      
        DC airport ticket agent offers some examples of why our country
    Is in trouble. I hope you get a chuckle, too. . . . .(I'd laugh,but this is too sad if it is true! The moderator)
          
        1. I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman ask for an aisle seat so
    That her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an
    Airplane!)
          
        2. I got a call from a candidate's staffer who wanted to go to
    Capetown. I started to explain the length of the flight and the
    Passport information. Then she interrupted me with, 'I'm not trying
    To make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts'.  Without
    Trying to make her look stupid, I calmly explained, 'Cape Cod' is in
    Massachusetts, Capetown is in Africa. Her response, "click".
          
        3. A senior Vermont Congressman called, furious about a Florida
    Package we did. I asked what was wrong with the vacation in
    Orlando . He said he was expecting an oceanview room. I tried to
    Explain that's not possible, because Orlando is in the middle of the
    State.  He replied, 'Don't get smart with me, I looked on the map
    And Florida is a very narrow state!' (Oh, my!)
          
         4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife who asked, 'Is it
    Possible to see England from Canada ?' I said, 'No.' She then said,
    'But they look so close on the map.'
          
         5. An aide for a cabinet member once called and asked if he
    Could rent a car in Dallas . When I pulled up the reservation, I
    Noticed he only had a one-hour layover in Dallas . I asked him why
    He wanted to rent a car, he replied, 'I heard Dallas was a big
    Airport, and we will need a car to drive between gates to save
    Time.' (Aghhhh!)
          
         6. An Illinois Congresswoman called last week. She needed to
    Know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30
    AM and got to Chicago at 8:33 AM. I explained that Michigan was an
    Hour ahead of Illinois, but she couldn't understand the concept of
    Time zones. Finally, I told her the plane went really fast, and she
    Accepted that.
          
         7. A New York lawmaker called and asked, 'Do airlines put your
    Physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs
    To whom?'  I said, 'No. Why do you ask?' She replied, 'Well, when I
    Checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said
    FAT, and I'm overweight. I think that's very rude. After putting her
    On hold for a minute while I looked into it--I was laughing--, I
    Came back and explained that the code for the Fresno, CA airport, is
    "FAT" = Fresno Air Terminal, and the airline was just putting a
    Destination tag on her luggage.
          
         8. A Senator's aide called to inquire about a trip package to
    Hawaii . After going over all the cost info, she asked, 'Would it be
    Cheaper to fly to California, and then take the train to Hawaii?'
          
         9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman who
    Asked, 'How do I know which plane to get on?' I asked him what
    Exactly he meant, to which he replied, 'I was told my flight number
    Is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them.'
          
         10. A lady Senator called and said, 'I need to fly to
    Pepsi-Cola, Florida. Do I have to get on one of those little
    Computer planes?' I asked if she meant she was flying to Pensacola,
    FL on a commuter plane. She said, 'Yeah, whatever, smarty!'
          
         11. A senior Senator called and had a question about the
    Documents he needed in order to fly to China. After a lengthy
    Discussion about passports, I reminded him that he also needed a
    Visa. 'Oh, no I don't. I've been to China many times and I have
    Never had to have one of those.' I double-checked, and sure enough,
    His stay required a visa. When I told him this he said, 'Look, I've
    Been to China four times and every time they have accepted my
    American Express!'
          
         12. A New Mexico Congresswoman called to make reservations, 'I
    Want to go from Chicago to Rhino, New York.'  I was at a loss for
    Words.  Finally, I said,  'Are you sure that's the name of the town?'
    ''Yes, what flights do you have?" replied the lady. After some
    Searching, I came back with, 'I'm sorry, ma'am, I've looked up
    Every airport code in the country and can't find a Rhino anywhere.'
    The lady retorted, 'Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it
    is. Check your map!'  So I scoured a map of the state of New York and
    finally offered, 'You don't mean Buffalo, do you?'  The reply?
    "Whatever! I knew it was a big animal."
          
        Now you know why our Government is in the shape that it is in,
     and who is causing it!

Sent to me in an email Thanks Marc


Remember Richard Reid, the guy who got on a plane with a bomb built into his shoe
and tried to light it?

Did you know his trial is over?
Did you know he was sentenced?
Did you see/hear any of the judge's comments on TV/Radio?
Didn't think so.
Everyone should hear what the judge had to say.
Ruling by Judge William Young, US District Court.

Prior to sentencing, the Judge asked the defendant if he had anything to say.

His response: After admitting his guilt to the court for the record,
Reid also admitted his "allegiance to Osama bin Laden, to Islam, and to the religion of Allah," defiantly stated "I think I will not apologize for my actions," and told the court "I am at war with your country."

Judge Young then delivered the statement quoted below:

January 30, 2003, United States vs. Reid. Judge Young:
"Mr. Richard C. Reid, hearken now to the sentence the Court imposes upon you.
On counts 1, 5 and 6 the Court sentences you to life in prison in the custody of the United States Attorney General. On counts 2, 3, 4 and 7, the Court sentences you to 20 years in prison on each count, the sentence on each count to run consecutive with the other.
That's 80 years. On count 8 the Court sentences you to the mandatory 30 years consecutive to the 80 years just imposed. The Court imposes upon you each of the eight counts a fine of $250,000 for the aggregate fine of $2 million. The Court accepts the government's recommendation with respect to restitution and orders restitution in the amount of $298.17 to Andre Bousquet and $5,784 to American Airlines. The Court imposes upon you the $800 special assessment.
The Court imposes upon you five years supervised release simply because the law requires it. But the life sentences are real life sentences so I need go no further. This is the sentence that is provided for by our statutes. It is a fair and just sentence. It is a righteous sentence.

Let me explain this to you. We are not afraid of you or any of your terrorist co-conspirators, Mr. Reid. We are Americans. We have been through the fire before. There is all too much war talk here and I say that to everyone with the utmost respect. Here in this court, we deal with individuals as individuals and care for individuals as individuals. As human beings, we reach out for justice.

You are not an enemy combatant. You are a terrorist. You are not a soldier in any war. You are a terrorist. To give you that reference, to call you a soldier, gives you far too much stature. Whether it is the officers of government who do it or your attorney who does it, or if you think you are a soldier. You are not----- you are a terrorist. And we do not negotiate with terrorists. We do not meet with terrorists. We do not sign documents with terrorists. We hunt them down one by one and bring them to justice.

So war talk is way out of line in this court. You are a big fellow. But you are not that big. You're no warrior. I've know warriors. You are a terrorist. A species of criminal that is guilty of multiple attempted murders. In a very real sense, State Trooper Santiago had it right when you first were taken off that plane and into custody and you wondered where the press and where the TV crews were, and he said: "You're no big deal."

You are no big deal.

What your able counsel and what the equally able United States attorneys have grappled with and what I have as honestly as I know how tried to grapple with, is why you did something so horrific. What was it that led you here to this courtroom today?

I have listened respectfully to what you have to say. And I ask you to search your heart and ask yourself what sort of unfathomable hate led you to do what you are guilty and admit you are guilty of doing. And I have an answer for you. It may not satisfy you, but as I search this entire record, it comes as close to understanding as I know.

It seems to me you hate the one thing that to us is most precious. You hate our freedom. Our individual freedom. Our individual freedom to live as we choose, to come and go as we choose, to believe or not believe as we individually choose. Here, in this society, the very wind carries freedom. It carries it everywhere from sea to shining sea. It is because we prize individual freedom so much that you are here in this beautiful courtroom. So that everyone can see, truly see, that justice is administered fairly, individually, and discretely. It is for freedom's sake that your lawyers are striving so vigorously on your behalf and have filed appeals, will go on in their representation of you before other judges.

We Americans are all about freedom. Because we all know that the way we treat you, Mr. Reid, is the measure of our own liberties. Make no mistake though. It is yet true that we will bare any burden; pay any price, to preserve our freedoms. Look around this courtroom. Mark it well. The world is not going to long remember what you or I say here. Day after tomorrow, it will be forgotten, but this, however, will long endure. Here in this courtroom and courtrooms all across America, the American people will gather to see that justice, individual justice, justice, not war, individual justice is in fact being done. The very President of the United States through his officers will have to come into courtrooms and lay out evidence on which specific matters can be judged and juries of citizens will gather to sit and judge that evidence democratically, to mold and shape and refine our sense of justice.

See that flag, Mr. Reid? That's the flag of the United States of America That flag will fly there long after this is all forgotten. That flag stands for freedom. And it always will.

Mr. Custody Officer. Stand him down.

So, how much of this Judge's comments did we hear on our TV sets?
We need more judges like Judge Young, but that's another subject. Pass this around. Everyone should and needs to hear what this fine judge had to say.  Powerful words that strike home.

God bless America.
