...bright spot may be passengers with thousands of frequent-flyer miles. Carriers like United and US Airways or the relatively healthier trio of Continental, Delta and Northwest are trying to strike code-sharing agreements, which theoretically give flyers a wider choice of airlines on which to redeem their miles. But as carriers slash the number of flights and look to maximize every penny, there will be fewer seats available. Some airlines may even choose to award the number of miles based on the ticket price paid. One thing there will definitely be fewer of is first-and business-class seats...
...Aqsa intifadeh, as the new uprising is called, has crushed those certainties. No longer do Palestinians trust that history will redeem them. They no longer regard Arafat as their savior.

Pony trails snake along mountain ridges, terraced rice paddies tumble down steep slopes, wisps of smoke rise from straw huts, and eagles hover on thermals far below.

...premillennium rapture teachings remind me of '60s guru Timothy Leary's aphorism, "Tune in, turn on, drop out." Only now the opiate of bad theology has replaced drugs. Why work to redeem the culture for Christ if you believe it is only going to get worse and that will hasten the Rapture? Wake up!
