When bad things happen to good people

Oh, please, Mr. Stanford. Welcome to this world we call reality.

Allen Stanford, the Texas billionaire whose assets are frozen by the SEC due to allegations of a massive Ponzi scheme, had this complaint:
Stanford said the seizure of his assets had left him with little money or even clothing. He had to fly on a commercial plane for the first time in nearly 20 years after the government took his six private jets.

"They make you take your shoes off and everything, it's terrible," he complained about airport security that seemed to surprise him.

Take off your shoes during security? Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! There are two things I have no tolerance for: stupidity and arrogance. In this case, his arrogance is causing his stupidity and ignorance.

Yes, Mr. Stanford. This is how the rest of us live.
