Reply #20: I reject your attempt to use guilt to manipulate me.

[Silverhair]

During the last election, the RW preachers used guilt to manipulate people to vote for Bush. On this forum we complained that they were being manipulated into voting against their own economic interest. They viewed it as placing their values ahead of their self interest.

Of course, we don't agree with many of their social values, but this forum was pretty much in agreement that they should vote their pocket book. Well, by my purchases, I am voting my pocketbook.

And what makes you think that I would fly at the higher prices that you want? I would probably stay home. That would really help them wouldn't it? Selling fewer tickets would make them more solvent????

As for the airline employees. If they are unhappy there - quit! Find another job. I have done that before when conditions were not to my liking. Then the place I was at had to go to the expense of replacing me. Of course, I usually had another job lined up before I gave notice. Why do I have to look out after the airline employees? Can't they do that for themselves?
