So now congress wants to ban cellphones on all flights since it annoys them. Perhaps they are getting tired of hearing people talk over the phone about drilling.

Answer 1

I agree....what a waste of time! What about that whole sports steroid thing? Or have they forgotten all about that?

Edit: Well, it's about time! See, they can take action when it counts!

Answer 2

It is all a distraction . They have no intent to do anything their masters the international bankers do not want . An that is to own the world . Sounds crazy Hu . Well they made the last depression happen and their making this one happen .

Answer 3

Its odd in the fact that phones are allowed on planes in Europe.

And congress worries about c**p like that because they don't want to mess with more important issues. In an election year, important issues make people mad.

Answer 4

Maybe we should be happy they;re wasting their time on unimportant stuff like cellphones in flight or baseball players on steroids.

When they address the really important issues, how  often do they make things  worse than what they were???

Answer 5

Like was said, election year. They want to protect their cushy positions, (can't call it a job) so they don't do anything that would make anyone mad.  It's a crime that they call themselves representatives of the people
