It is you, in your search for a "hero of the cause" that have elevated his adolescent, "gee my buddy told me to do this and it sounds like fun" prank to a beacon for the cause of liberty.
I don't have feel any such compulsion to do this.
In this search for a hero...the act was compared to Rosa Parks and various and sundry other acts of civil dissent...thus elevating this prank to all new heights...and had my position (of the guy being an ass) elevated to standing for the replacement of TSA with SS black and furthering racism...et al.
Tell me, which side do you think is stretching it >just< a bit too far?
Sorry for not feeling that strong a desire for hero worship...friend. Me, I'd rather just call jerk on both sides...but, it seems, this makes me a fascist-enabler in your mind...so..as stated...sieg heil.
