'Orange Is the New Black' -- I Spent a Year in a Women's Prison {Lemondrop}
Apr 13th 2010 2:02PM Our prison systems in this country need total reform. If they are truly meant to be "correctional" facilities, we must find a way to rehabilitate criminals and teach them skills for being contributing members of society. Unless someone has a life sentence, they will be released back in to society. Why don't we help them through education, job training and drub rehabilitation, it would be a system with much better outcomes for all involved including taxpayers who are footing the bill.
Corporate executive not welcome in the United Airlines first class cabin {Gadling}
Nov 9th 2009 11:32PM If you read the story correctly it was a first class upgrade not a paid first class ticket. What people are forgetting is that air travel used to be very different. Flying now is like taking a bus. I am guilty of traveling in very casual attire myself. I flew first class to Italy over the summer and wore comfortable sweat pants for the long flight. My ticket was not an upgrade but still I am happy I wasn't asked to move to the back of the plane. If they thought he was too casually dressed, I agree they should have asked him if he had more proper attire rather than being denied his upgrade. They have a right to give upgrades to whomever they want but was it really worth all of this bad PR?
I agree with Carol that it's possible the mistake was actually the gate agent thinking he was traveling on a buddy pass and didn't meet the dress requirements.
