Investigative television shows like 60 Minutes are always finding someone on death row who didn't do it. They never conclude he really did do it. It's puzzling to viewers because someone out there is murdering people.

While I don't understand the airline business or its problems, I see them doing small things wrong that I do understand. It makes me suspicious of the intelligence they use with their major problems. One airline I have used frequently proudly serves "warm nuts." I am sitting strapped to my seat, a captive audience seething at being forced to listen to the commercials over the intercom after paying a fortune for my ticket, when a flight attendant offers "warm nuts." What food expert at the airline's home office decided warm nuts were a good idea?
