Airports bring out the asshole in people. I avoid them whenever possible.

I don't think this slogan has quite the same ring as "Fly the friendly skies of United" or "Delta is ready when you are," but it's certainly accurate.

Ditto. I conscientiously practice the Flight Free Lifestyle and am much better off for it. The costs involved in liesurely driving to my destination are more than offset by the benefits I derive from avoiding the numerous annoyances and indignities attendant upon "the Wonders of Modern Flight."

(Will someone please post the picture of the Lockheed Superconnie?) Now that was the Golden Age of Passenger Flight. Men in suits and ties, ladies in beautiful dresses, polite, helpful stewardesses . . . sigh.

I have never flown in my life. I never will. If I need to get overseas, I am sure there is a boat for me somewhere. I love roadtrips. I will see the entire country in my car, someday. I have seen much of it already. I will also visit Canada in my car. It's funny, but I would actually prefer a slower journey. Being packed in a cattle car with people I can't stand is bad, but flying takes away the vastness of things too.

I will never step on a plane, but not just for these reasons. I am really scared to death of flying.
