It's just a 4.5 hr trip from Chicago to Louisville and these employees could have rented a van and driven for less money and much less controversy. There WERE other options that they simply ignored. Airlines should not be in the habit of overbooking, period. It's a greedy practice and serves no one but corporate wallets. It once was a nice thing to "fly the friendly skies," but with all the frustrations passengers have to endure from costly booking fares, luggage screening, strict and inconsistent security, waiting in long lines and expensive food/water, we should have a right to keep our PAID seats. When Airlines begin acting like superior big brother brutes, we should all start using other means of transportation. I certainly do hope that man and all the passengers on that plane sue the airline. It's time the bullying stop!</p>Angelamz40Tue, 11 Apr 2017 17:00:56 -0000http://www.challies.com/writings/podcast/introverted#comment-441409343<p>In lieu of this post, you may be interested in the scientific community's perspective (and their celebration) of the introvert here: </p><p><a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=the-power-of-introverts&amp;WT.mc_id=SA_20120213" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=the-power-of-introverts&amp;WT.mc_id=SA_20120213">http://www.scientificameric...</a>  </p><p>Glenn Pease writes this: "Jesus did not call us to live in the closet, but only to withdraw to the closet for prayer. We are to get back out into the world, and let our light shine before men. But, like Moses, we will not have the light of God shining from us if we do not get alone with God.  So it is not a matter of either-or, but of both-and. We are to be introverts and extroverts, and, therefore, ambiverts. We are to be able to withdraw into solitude, and then to enter again into society. The Christian is to have the best of both worlds, for this is pleasing to God, and pleasing to men."  The goal then, is ambiversion.  </p>Angelamz40Thu, 16 Feb 2012 19:08:28 -0000
