Travolta strikes again

John Travolta’s private plane fetish brings the noise to a small Maine community 2

Oh, John Travolta. When will you and your planes stop p$#@ing off the populace?

Apparently it's not enough for Mr. Saturday-Night-Give-the-Planet-a-Fever to wander the globe in his private planes, trailing an excess of carbon emissions in his wake. He's also got to land his plane near his Maine residence during the area's voluntary no-fly period between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.

Come on, John. It's bad enough that you're contributing to warming the planet. Now you're going to keep granny awake in the process? For shame, Vinnie Barbarino, for shame.

    Slow down there pardner.......As it has been made very clear to me here on Gristmill it is rude to ask the wealthy to cut their luxury CO2 emissions before you yourself are at zero emissions. Being poor is no excuse.
    After all, I'm sure that Mr. Travolta donates some few percent of his excess income to a good cause and  I'm also sure he donates a few hours of his time to promoting the welfare of orphanages somewhere while he's on his way to his well deserved vacation.
    So Mr. Travolta gets a pass thank you..
    Sorry about that stuff above. Just demonstrating a point. If we're all on the same lifeboat nobody gets to pee in the drinking water no matter how rich. If Mr. Travolta walked or biked somewhere once in a while it's just possible he would quit bloating.
    See if you can get the city fathers to issue a fat fine.

    How Many of the 3% are Dyaneticians?

    Like I said -- it's the 3% at the top that's the entire problem.
