Myths about what causes terrorism

because she missed her plane. She was crying and yelling all at the same time. The flight attendant tried her best to calm the lady down, but her efforts were fruitless.

I got off the plane and proceed to US Airways customer service, where I waited my turn to speak to an agent. When it was my turn, the same lady from the plane, burst in front of me, still crying and complaining about how she missed her plane. Waa! I thought.

I am just opposed to doing so at the expense of my integrity or my future children.

I believe that all Americans have freedom of choice for themselves. I am tired of being subjected to frivolous laws, notions and politically correct ways of speaking that are being imposed upon me. For example, when I was growing up, I could dive off the high diving board at my local public pool, even if I was scared, I did it. It was so much fun. Now, high dive diving boards are being systematically removed from public pools because of the FEAR that someone will get hurt. Even thought statistically in the last thirty years, less than ten people have died from diving off the high dive. Another ridiculous trend is happening in playgrounds. Trees are being removed from playgrounds because
