I had to laugh when I read that because most of us ex-military feel the same way but you also sound like John Rambo..lol

the priority access lane certainly helps too

about two and a half years ago I did some consulting work for AUDI in Hungary. I was flying back via Amsterdam (only had a 2 hour lay over ). Anywho I was sitting in business class waiting to depart and the captain anounces a 30 min flight delay. The reaction of my fellow passengers was alot of "jeesssuuusss" and "uuuhhh's"

Of course it is not ideal that a 9 hour flight will now take 9 hours and 30 minutes. But then you have to remember that the ability of flight has only been a reality for the last what 60 years. It would of taken 2 weeks 50 years ago, so 9 1/2 hours is not so bad!

People in our form have been on this planet for millions of years. And to be one of the lucky individuals who gets to live now, in this day and age is like winnning the lottery everyday. I know day to day frustrations get to us, but just think of this bullshit life living in a hunter gatherer society 2 million years ago would of been like. life expectancy was what back then 25? 30?

moral of the story dont let a 20 minute line up ruin your day. It's way better than having to hunt meat everyday, or fuck around for 2 hours trying to start a fire with wet wood. or how about your girl dying giving birth to your child and you having to raise it with nothing but a cave??

am I making sense?? I am realy baked right now!!
