I couldn't agree with you less Red.
I don't know what you do for a living, but from your posts about renovating your house, you appear to live and exist in a rural idyll. Although I live in the countryside too, the couple of weeks a year that I can take my family away from beautiful, rainy Cumbria really are a rain free treat.
Mass air travel has opened the world up to ordinary people, and I for one will be very sorry if, for whatever reason, that is denied to us.
Cheers, Michael.
Too right, and I have never met such boring people as those that have never travelled.
Sounds like Man Made Global Warming Sympathy to me, something that I simply reject.
