there is a more appropriate comparison to the cruise ship captains actions.
George W. Bush sat in an elementary school class reading My Pet Goat while 3,000 people were incinerated on American soil under his watch.
After that he was hiding so he couldn't be attacked as was Cheney who hid out in a undisclosed location. After that the country went down hill and attacked a country that had no reason to be attacked thus damaging the US economy. Bush did zip while the Ship of State sank into a dark financial pit.
If there is 'any' comparison that is appropriate to the cruise ship captain's actions it is George Bush on 9/11 and the years that followed. It was a totally avoidable historic occurrence. Bush ignored intelligence just like the ship captain ignored danger to the cruise ship.
Gingrich obeyed Gawd, Gawd look down and saw it was good. Gawd spoke to Newt and said, "You, my son, have obeyed me and I shall give to you the miracle of being the master of the most powerful kingdom in the world." The man called Gingrich passed the holy test and is waiting for that glorious day when he shall therefore be-eth the President-eth of the United-eth States-eth of America-eth.
before you can express yourself. If you are not educated at the correct universities or don't pay the correct organizations their fees and dues you are not considered worthy of expression in any form of art. That is why the majority of popular culture we are fed is bland, vanilla and edgy as a wet noodle. Money determines who is worthy of expression on a mass scale.
