(The Atlantic has a really gruesome slow-motion annotated version of the video that I can't recommend simply because it's so so horrifying. <a href="http://skydancingblog.com/2011/09/25/the-first-amendment-is-well-and-truly-dead/">The implications are ugly enough on their own.</a>)<br /><br />And it doesn't help that Southwest Airlines seems to think that same-sex affection is not ok (they get to police passengers' size/weight, wardrobe, and kissing partners? guess who I'm not flying!)...<br /><br /><br />I'm not sure what all else I'm pissed off about this evening... but this might well be enough.
