Congress less popular than Communism

I'm surprised 93% of Americans actually heard of Berlin.

They had a big hit with "Take My Breath Away".  But "The Wall" was a Pink Floyd album, it had nothing to do with Berlin.

But Roger Waters did perform The Wall live at Posdamer Platz in Berlin.

I don't understand the airline hate

I think it's because they were bailed out just a handful of years ago.

I think that it is just because airline travel is such a hassle these days.

And it's only going to get worse.

Most of the blame for that goes to the TSA though, no?

Judging by the poll results, no.  Besides, the TSA doesn't exist in places like Heathrow, and traveling through there is an exercise in frustration.

So, is the hassle even mostly* the airlines' fault?  No.  Do people blame them anyway?  Yes.

* the airlines are responsible for the increased incidence of over-booking and the "death of a thousand cuts" fee system some of them have, but that's not what makes airline travel suck.

Yeah, that's probably it.

Yeah, I've got the live album.

Render unto Caesar and whatnot?

Legions don't pay for themselves.  Oh, wait, they did.  WTF, U.S. armed forces?

If you want a proffessional army you need to pay for it.
If you want to go to pre-marian reforms, by all means.

What's so good about a professional army?
