Funny and cute... but a good example of something that proves nothing as the whole thing is built on at least two false premises...<br />
<br />
1) Hot air balloons cannot change direction nor be "steered." No one would take one as transportation to a specific destination.<br />
<br />
2) The man played a typical trick in twisting words around. She did not say anything was "his fault." He put words in her mouth, then tried to make it reflect somehow on her.<br />

<br />
1) People like to try and "label" people so they can dismiss and marginalize them. Just because you apply a label to a group of people does NOT mean they are all alike, think alike, react alike, have the same level of knowledge, skills or education, etc. All white people are not alike, all black people are not alike, all Democrats are not alike, all Republicans are not alike. Every group of people has more that they don't have in common than what they do have in common.<br />
<br />
2) There are a LOT of people who will BASH an opponents/rival's idea ... they will lie, they will twist, they will point out legitimate deficiencies. The one thing they often DO NOT do however... is to offer a viable idea or plan of their own.<br />
<br />
It's a waste of time and energy to point out problems if you don't, or can't, offer solutions of your own.<br />
