Common Sense

This blog is usually on the humorous side, at least I try to make it somewhat funny, but this entry is actually serious.

As I read/ watch the news regarding these full body scanners being implemented at airports due to suicide bomber threats on airplanes, it just makes my blood boil. Why should we have to go through such indignity at the airport when we all know these threats always come from Muslim Extremists? And so far, it sure seems like they are all men between 18 and 50. Forgive me for sounding politically incorrect, but let's start using common sense at airports.

It is time that we single out these people who fit the profile of these bombers. Let's have them thoroughly screened at airports. I realize that most of these people are good and decent so yes, what a shame for this group to have to be inconvenienced and humiliated. But why should grandma and the rest of us be?

Okay, fine

The official international readership poll has been completed, The accountants and attorneys have finished their tabulations and analysis, and it would appear that the vast majority if not 100% of this blog's readers are women. Okay fine, I have no problem with that. Three of the most important people in my life happen to be women-- wife, mom and that lady who runs Backer's Pastry Shop. I sort of feel like the lone man in this Relief Societal blogger world--

Ladies, we shall carry on!

Gentlemen, you are invited to participate.

Another poll

Okay, I know how these polls go. Ask a question and if you're lucky, two people respond. Not sure why that is--maybe it's because it's so difficult to click one of the buttons--I don't know.

Anyway, my question to anyone who wants to bother to strain themselves for a moment:

Are you a man reading this or are you a woman?

Not only is that a very simple question, it's also safe. I have no idea who you are and promise not to zap your bank account (even if I could).

Okay ready, set, a couple of deep breaths and...Click!
