Fuck them all. They can suck a fart out of my ass, each and every one of them - the airlines, the government, the busybodies, the energy companies, the Texans, Arabs, Persians, Nigerians, Russians, Kazhaks, Afghans, Floridians, Canadians, Venezuelans, Mexicans, and Religious fundamentalists of all stripes. I'll make sure to eat bean burritos and tuna omelettes for a week just to have appropriately pungent anal vapors for their sniffing pleasure.

so, tell us how you REALLY feel...
