Am I the only one who actually ENJOYS turbulence?
I find it comforting, relaxing, sometimes even fun. Granted, I haven't ever been subjected to a lurch that hurt me or any other passengers... but the bumps -- even significant ones -- help me fall asleep faster.
And -- undoubtedly this is the Vulcan side of me showing -- why aren't people able to view air travel even somewhat logically? Given how HUGELY safer air travel is than car travel (or probably even walking about a crowded city), why do people still freak out so much?
Okay, fine, we all have irrational fears and that should be respected. I just wish it wouldn't affect our society so much. You want "100% secure" (ha!) airport security at the price of massive inconvenience, frightened kids, missed meetings (or weddings!)? Fine, but let me have MY air travel back, please. Ah, okay, I digress... [sigh]
Signed,
Nostalgic for sanity (and comforted by natural, normal air pockets)
