You may be correct but I believe it is more for the preaching how the little people should be more careful with the planet while he flies his big plane, in other word, hypocrisy not class envy.

[miliantnutcase]

How the hell could he afford a places like that with those planes even? He can’t be that rich? I would think maintaining toys like that would be in the billionaires only club.

[GretchenM]

Sheesh, who’s his gardener?

For the rest of us, we consider someone enjoying the rewards of Capitalism, from hard work, as something to be enjoyed.

Not while he lectures the "rest of us" on global warming.

I hate hypocrites.

[Theresawithanh]

I think it’s great that he can spend the money he made on whatever he wants, and I’m sure he expertly pilots his 707. I don’t think it means that I belong at DU because I don’t like hypocrits who will turn around and lecture the rest of us to change our lifestyles when they themselves will not. For that, he’s in the same category to me as Barbra Streisand and Al Gore.

One cross Country flight in his 707 uses more fuel than 50 of us will use in a lifetime. Then he wants us to cut back.

Pray for W and Our Troops

It’s a good thing you are not reactionary in your posts.

Must have run out of Carbon Offsets!!

Pratt and Whitney's are not carbon credit compliant. ; )

He won a bet with Horshack that Kotter would come back.

[streetpreacher]

Scientology must draw these types.

[get'emall]

BTTT

[caveat emptor]

someone enjoying the rewards of Capitalism

Who knew? I thought he was just an 'unble actor and foot-soldier in the war on global warming.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Too many carbon offsets will do that to ya!

[EGPWS]

I don't think the FAA will allow a plane like the 707 to be flown solo.

Nope, they don't.

[Vision]

Maybe I'm wrong.

The Pulp Fiction actor, 53 - a qualified pilot - was flying the Boeing 707 himself when it was hit by the mid-air scare.

[windcliff]

How romantic.

[lormand]

I thought that Scientology kooks relied on flying saucers or flying carpets?

[Chode]

thank you... it wasn't built to be a hanger queen.
muscle without exercise turns to junk.

bad, bad, bad!

His affiliation with Scientology has caused some controversy. In 1998 he was named in a lawsuit involving a former member of the Church that claims that he was promised by the Church that his homosexuality could be cured. The lawsuit alleged that the organization frequently cited Travolta as proof that the organization could in fact change a person’s sexual orientation. A lawyer for Travolta replied, “This looks like complete hogwash. Travolta is a happily married man, which proves he isn’t gay.” [1]. Depite his lawyer’s contention, rumors of Travolta’s homosexuality persist.
