Lee Doren's rant about the Department of Transportation's rules

Lee Doren, aka HowTheWorldWorks, recently posted a rant on Google+ that completely misrepresents new regulations for airliners by the Department of Transportation.

Oddly, when pointing this out to Doren, he deletes my comment and blocks me from his account.

I guess when you really hate something, it's okay to lie about it to demonize it?

Considering how quick he is to remove posts for which he can't find a rebuttal, perhaps he should change his real name to Delete Doren.

Sounds a lot like regulation already in place here in (most of) Europe. But of course we are Ebil Communists.

If it would fit Lee Doren's interests that the earth was flat he would stop at nothing for claiming so.

Lee is an expert at what I like to call, "making sh*t up."

[xPHOENIX269x]

Wait, your telling me that you actually read what the Gawker article said and did research on the new regs? Blasphemy I say, Blasphemy!!!!

Doren should change his nickname to something more accurate - WhereCanIbuyAclue?

Hmm... where are these airlines... so I can avoid them? When I have waited a few times in a US Airways (or affiliate) planes on domestic flights, even in the hottest summer weather, they were cool and comfy (they ran the AC... you know. That new fangled HCF134 based compressed gas cooling system?) Pwnage, indeed. I am also blocked for the same reasons from his sites.

Sounds like his channel should be called "WhatMakesTheWorldGoRound"
