What happens to some folks when they arrive at the gate? I like Dee's comment. Civility and manners often enough seem to evaporate. I still can't figure out the rush to be first on board. Sometimes I get a good seat, sometimes not. Not too many guarantees in life, but flying sure beats walking.
The fate of MH 17 is a human tragedy. All are culpable. There are collateral fatalities. Nothing is
is to be excused. Nothing like this must happen again. Politics are culpable. Nationalism is at fault also. Innocents are killed at governmental whim, within and without territories. No one takes any blame. Even from the most atheistic point of view, we are supposed to be "Homo sapiens" I doubt it. Even less, homo rationalis. At present, this is a global issue.
What a tragedy for the families and loved ones of all the passengers and crew. They are not alone in their grief and pain. We have all lost members of our family in this disaster. Rest and peace to those who have perished; love and prayerful support to those who remain. God have mercy on us all.
