That is the way things are, unfortunately. The days of clear choices are gone. No matter what choices anybody makes it seem it gets to be taken apart, analyzed and criticized by morons who have no idea what they are talking about.
What brought forth this diatribe?
There are elements who claim that the cessation of flights through areas affected by the Icelandic volcano was exaggerated and unnecessary.
Things like this make my blood boil! Who the hell they think they are? How do they get the nerve to come forth with a statement like this?
All the world needed was one unfortunate plane going through the ash clouds and crash. Then all these loudmouths would have changed their position an blamed the airline for the accident.
This is just an example of the constant criticism that is going on in every aspect of our lives.
Case in point.
Where do stupid, stay home housewives get off and criticize a nuclear power plant for its operations. I would very much like to know how many of them have a degree in nuclear science that would give them the background for such criticism.
The reason I am saying this because there is a nuclear power plant in Westchester County that is being constantly questioned by the people who live around it.
Case in point.
A school's wall collapsed sometime last week. Nobody was hurt but just to be on the safe side they closed the school until engineers checked it out and determined when it was safe enough to reopen.
Mothers spoke up and said they would really like to know how safe it was and what caused the collapse. Are they structural engineers? Why do they question the engineers' findings? They think they are smarter than everybody else.
And that is the problem with us.
We all think that we know more than the professionals and because of that we don't trust anybody else.
That brings to no respect to authority. And if that prevails we will be living in a very sad and dangerous environment.

Today there is a possibility of a walkout by apartment building doormen, handymen, elevator operators and other similar occupations.
Right now it looks like there will be a walkout but by tomorrow this might be a moot point because they have settled.
But right now I am immensely enjoying myself by listening to interviews of people who live in affected buildings.
These people think the world will be coming to an end.
What will life be without an elevator operator? They will have to push the buttons themselves, terrible!
I live in an apartment building with a live in superintendent and a full time handyman. We do not have a doorman or a concierge or an elevator operator and we still survive.
To me a doorman is one the world's most useless position. All he does is help tenants with their packages, get taxis and screens visitors. And for all this he sticks his hand out for appreciation.
The only useful employees are the superintendent and the handymen. These are the ones who keep a building running.
If the strike happens all these uppity people will have to take down their garbage and have to get their own taxis. As far as I can see the world might come to an end for them.
But come Christmas, all past inconveniences and name calling will be forgotten and all the building employees will be sucking up for their "well deserved" bonuses.
It's a good country America, but it's very weird world we live in.
