Apparently, the most important issue in the country is not the ongoing home foreclosures, the unstable stock market, and the forthcoming projection of a 6% inflation. Our representatives have decided that our top priority is to crack down on those annoying folks who just cannot shut their yappers up inside airplanes. An article from Information Week reported that the U.S. House of representatives are working on a bill to make a the FAA's ban on voice communication in airplanes permanent. And the name of the law would be called "The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee passed Thursday the Halting Airplane Noise to Give Us Peace Act, or the Hang Up Act. Wow. How noble. I assume that drug addiction is not a major problem in the Capitol, but when I hear about laws like this, I cannot help but conjure thoughts of how much crack our Congress has smoked lately. It seems like nothing passes the Congress' addiction into legislating upon the most minute details of our lives. Leave us alone, please. Airlines and ordinary people are capable of shutting someone up, believe it or not. So just get back to your desks and do something more productive, like I don't know, reform our tax structure or get us out of Iraq perhaps?
