Is there even any sort of biological necessity for a female orgasm?
[Read the article: Ah, the mysterious female orgasm]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I wonder. Whereas human females don't go into heat like most other mammals and this certainly lends credence to the idea that somewhere along the way, biologically speaking the utility of sex in humans is more nuanced than reproduction, what actually is the biological imperative for a female orgasm. There doesn't seem to be one. Maybe it really is all in your head.

You say that as if it's a bad thing
[Read the article: American Airlines' plan to save the planet]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If airline travel were 10x more expensive than it is today, people who have 10x more money than I do would fly. Airlines would make MORE money not less as it would cost them far less to fly 1/10th the number of people around for roughly the same revenue. The fact that fat stupid Americans in their Hawaiian shirts, old people and others can't afford it is their problem. They can't afford to take limos and helicopters either and I don't hear anyone saying it's their right to do so. Fewer planes means more polar bears, less fuel, the whole shebang. There is nothing at all wrong with unwinding the clock back to the 19th Century for the vast majority of people.

No it's fine,
[Read the article: American Airlines' plan to save the planet]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]How many Rolls Royce's do you have to sell to break even? A few hundred at most ok maybe a few thousand. Point is that's what flying should be - a modern day luxury cruise like the days of the Astors. This way the airlines can charge Robin Leach bellowing 'Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous' absurd prices, the volume of flights is way way way way down and everyone's happy. In essence turn the entire industry into a modified version of fractional ownership charter airlines. You know that in December 1999, for laughs I called British Airways and asked them what a walk up price for JFK to Heathrow, first class was. $21,400 or thereabouts. Now someone and I bet more than one person, probably paid something approximating that. In comparison the Concorde never made money with prices like that but that was a cost of operations problem not a revenue or passenger load problem. And since there are no more Concorde's and there never will be, the cost of operations to the airlines for conventional planes is lower, well known and manageable.
In the end, charging ever more prices for ever worse slower more awful service is just going to kill air travel for most people anyway. The airlines will cut back, lose money, fire people, get rid of capacity. All I'm suggesting is plan for it.

I hope to live to see the day where
[Read the article: Abuse me, abuse my pet]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]A person in the US is sentenced to death for a crime upon an animal and the death penalty for crimes against people is abolished. Already in my state you can go to jail for about 5 years for animal cruelty as opposed to about 2 years for burning your kids with a hot iron. I would also like to see all medical testing upon animals abolished and instead do that on people instead.
PETA uber alles.

But flying isn't a right it's not even a privilege,
[Read the article: American Airlines' plan to save the planet]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It's just a transaction. I for one would love to have a live in staff tend to my needs. But I can't afford it no matter how much think it's my due. This is what I don't understand about the relationship between people and travel. You'll put up with endless shit and torture no matter what and then balk if anyone suggests it's not feasible.

Flying is not a right
[Read the article: American Airlines' plan to save the planet]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Which part of that wasn't entirely clear to you? Aren't you the people who scold EVERYONE ELSE for what you perceive to be overconsumption and overindulgence?
I'm sorry you bothered to go insane and have a long boring conversation with yourself prattling on about who the hell knows what. None the less, for air travel to make economic sense to someone, it's going to have to change its business model. They can't pretend to offer service to middle class tourists and expect to make any money at it. I'm sorry that clashes with your California Uber Alles mindset but there it is.

I'm guessing you'll see massive coal and hydro in China on a scale never seen
[Read the article: The Wall Street Peak Oil Journal ]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Three Gorges is today the largest hydro project in the world, ever. We will see new projects that dwarf that one with millions of acres of flood plains and tens upon tens of millions of people uprooted.
And you will see them also have no choice but to use more coal on a cosmic scale. The brown air of China will become black.
