Flying is fun!

Finally another update, sorry its been a while. I'm new to this whole blogging thing so it doesn't cross my mind every day to post something. I mainly post when something catches my eye that I just have to comment on. And yesterday something did.

This whole Nancy Pelosi whining about getting a plane thing just bugs me. Every single article I've read talks about how she wants a bigger plane so she can fly non-stop between D.C. and S.F. Now I just have to ask... what makes anyone think that she should even get a plane in the first place? If you or I took a job on the other side of the country would the company provide us with a plane so we could fly home when we wanted to? I just don't understand what makes Nancy Pelosi think she's better than any of us. Or any other public official for that matter. You have to remember these people applied for the job (by volunteering to run for office) and got the job, just like any one of us can do. The job of a public official doesn't make someone better than anyone else, in fact it should prove that they are willing to give up more for their fellow countrymen since they are in essence working for us. I think the media and the people in general need to take a fundamental look at their elected officials. Just think, maybe if we took all of the planes away from the congressmen then maybe we would have some more money to spend on things that need money, like revamping our public school system, or finishing once and for all our war on terrorism before the fight moves over here. Just my 2 cents.
