Question for those who thought the "highjack this" announcements on the
part of airline pilots were "patronizing," (because they supposedly treat you like you were either a kid or you were "mentally challenged or impaired" or something.).



What is more patronizing? An airline pilot telling you how to tell would be sky pirates "WHAT PART OF "HIGHJACK THIS" DON'T YOU GET?," or "President" Bush or * telling you the proper way to commemorate something such as any anniversary of "that day" or Sept 11?



I myself would find the latter VERY patronizing and I would have liked to tell Mr. Shrub "We can mark the Sept 11 anniversaries in any way we want to thank you very much."
