Calm the FUCK Down!

So, the volcano in Iceland is spewing ash and disrupting air travel. Yeah. Shit happens. I can understand being frustrated by it.

But it makes no sense to be ANGRY about it.

I had the news on, and they were doing the interview thing where they stick the microphone in the stranded passengers faces, and while most people were clearly frustrated and tired, some went so far to be ANGRY.

Can you explain what there is to be angry at? It's nature...she's occasionally a bitch, and most of us (especially where I live) just deal with the fact that nature likes to throw ash every now and then.

The angry people were actually kind of creepy, in the sense that they actually seemed to expect "someone" to do something about their misfortune, and it was a crime than nothing had been done yet.

And part of the reason this attitude is creepy, is I think it encourages dangerous actions...kind of like KLM trying to see if they can force a plane to fly through ash clouds (they are testing this now).

Yeah. Count me OUT on that passenger list. I'd be checking to see if any cruise ships were offering special rates for stranded air passengers. Seven days and I'd be back in the States.
