I am not a liberal! (But speaking of labels, if Patron Saint Sarah Palin is gonna let Rushie get away with joking about "retards," certainly there's a little space on her palm for my pardon!)

You, the liberal, were profiling. If liberals can profile, then damnit, *I* am going to be more open about it. Let's all profile and make it policy, because I am sick and tired of all this togetherness. Maybe it;s best I stay out in west Texas, where profiling is still cool (if you ever have the opportunity).

I know, you're right. That's why I fly every month, despite my neurosis and their underpants bombs (lol). I will get that mace (and, knowing me, probably use it prematurely).

It's always fun to read every word you put together. That situation sounds truly scary, and I'm glad you got the hell out of there. But we can't live in fear, or the terrorists win - and I'm talking about all predators. Old Man Creepy deserved a face full of pepper spray. That Nigerian jackass (Abdhul HamaLama DingDong, or whatever his name was) who tried blowing up a plane with his unsuccessful underpants bomb -- he's not getting under my skin any more than the next idiot terrorist who calls us all "infidels" and tries to blow up my building with a pen. Granted, I have no idea what it's like to face this as a woman, but I refuse to let them get the better of my psyche. And you shouldn't either. I'm glad you got out of there safely. You did the right thing. Next time, it's mace to the face. Go to your local gun store. They can set you up. Glad to see you writing again. Phil Jennifer, you have such a gift with your writing.
