AirTran is coming to Charlotte. Another low-fare carrier attempting to make a go of it in our fair city. Cool. So why is it that USAirways is so stupid about it? AirTran is starting service in May. USAirways is matching fares. In May.
The Problem: Some people want to see a female president, implying that we just ought to put one there, without, say, a vote on the subject. As if it's time for quotas in government. Can't we get over that hump already?
My Proposal: You want a woman in office, get the support of a political party, major or minor, foot the bill, run the race, and get the votes. Though I don't necessarily agree with the current political system in our country, I at least recognize that it's better than the alternative - namely being stuck with whatever trend du jour happens to strike everyone's fancy.
