Did American Airlines act properly when it removed Alec Baldwin from a plane for not turning off his cell phone prior to take-off?
“It was completely wrong of the airline to treat Mr. Baldwin in this manner, and I blame the flight attendant for not knowing how big a star he is. You just don’t go around kicking big stars off of airplanes, no matter what.”

Should the Government Pay to Remove Crack Houses in Blighted Neighborhoods?
