Well I suppose I would be the newbie to this forum at least . Down here in South Carolina it's more of the same . We really don't notice the lack of air travel to much but everyone seems to still be in a state of shock . Myself , I think I'm past the shock and well into anger mixed with a deep sadness . I just want to say to all New Yorkers that I am extremely proud of the way you all have handled it . All I can say is whoever planned this AND thier backers had better start running , because in my life I have never heard our politicians talk like they are now and that can't be safe .
