Hey Swami:
Did you see where United Airlines is going to start charging $15 for every checked bag? Everyone's got their hands out for more, more, more. Where is the outrage?
Beside Myself in Bannockburn
Dear B.M.:
To answer your first question, yes, of course The Swami saw that United is going to take away a freebie -- The Swami sees all, usually before it happens. That's the definition of being a seer, after all.
As for your second question about The Outrage: there is plenty of it to go around in America, but it is reserved for things like politics, religion and recreational activities played by other people (a.k.a. professional sports). If there is any impotent rage left over for economic issues, it is used on the price of gas ... and, here in Lake County this summer, on the new policy by Six Flags Great America to charge customers $1 every time they want to check a bag, camera or other valuable that can't be brought on a ride.
That's right -- no more sticking that floppy hat or sandals in an open box before jumping on your favorite vomit rocket. Now you have to pay a buck for one of those tiny lockers with the key that works exactly once ... or you don't ride the ride.
Where is the outrage? There is the outrage. The Swami foresees that you will hear an earful about this from everyone you know who goes to Great America this summer.
