Here's what Inayet Sahin said after being ejected from the flight Thursday. She and her extended family and one friend -- all of whom are Muslims -- were ejected after fellow passengers became concerned about conversation between two regarding the safest place to sit on an airliner:"We are proud Americans. You know we decided to have our children and raise them here. We can very easily go anywhere we want in the world, but you know we love it here and we're not going to go away, no matter what."

I'm sorry, but that is just about the stupidest comment I have heard in a while. You're actually threatening to move elsewhere? Because we would miss you? My sympathy for your plight has just evaporated. Go ahead and move. I promise you this is the best place to live on this planet. Flaws and all.
My other thought: Air travel is a privilege, not a right.
