My psychiatrist and I were talking about everything as usual, in particular air travel, since he has just done some and I will soon too. The conversation went something like this.
He speaks first.
You wouldn't want to step out of line.
You know there was a man who was sitting on a plane and the man next to him asked him to look after a parcel he was holding as he needed to go to the toilet, and the first man said 'I hope it's not a bomb', and he was arrested for it?
For using the B word?
For lese majesty I think.
Amazing.
This is a world that has lost it's moral moorings. If you think back to the 70s when there was a real challenge to the system, no one would have reacted like this.
The world has changed since 9/11.
They'll tazer you and say they were using the most humane option and what's more they will believe it.
