coondoggie writes "On top of its recently announced plan to reduce flight delays, Federal Aviation Administration officials today launched what they hope will be pan U.S. and European Union joint action plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions from aircraft. Specifically the group announced the Atlantic Interoperability Initiative to Reduce Emissions or AIRE — the first large-scale environmental plan aimed at uniting aviation players from both sides of the Atlantic."

    How about forcing them to vote Republican?

    You can argue that it is necessary to keep Bush in power to fight terrorism, and if people will really do anything to keep flying, this will result in a continual majority for the GOP! No, those people you'd have to force to vote liberal. Those people already DO vote republican.
