I am sure I am in the minority on this, but I feel there are certain places where children under 16 just don't belong: the concierge lounge, the airline club, fancy restaurants and first class on an airplane. I don't care if they are well-behaved or not, they're taking up space. Whether I'm paying to be on the Concierge floor or there by virtue of an upgrade, I'm tired of having no place to sit, eat my breakfast, and read the paper because some gulty parent decided to bring little Brittney and Hunter along on a business trip. My father traveled on business and I stayed where I belonged: at home in school. I am not a parent, truth is I don't much like kids at all, but I have traveled with other people and their children and we stay at kid-friendly hotels such as Residence Inns and Embassy Suites so the children can have room to be on their own and still be supervised AND stay out of other peoples way. </font>
Well, truth is I agree with you. I think everyone who's not like me should be kept out of wherever I'm going, so that I don't have to deal with these undesirables. Kids, short people, tall people, fat people, slim people, men, women, whatever. I don't care how well-behaved they are, they don't belong as long as I don't think they do. They should stay where they belong. Which, of course, brings us back to way back when when only certain individuals had any rights. But that's another story....
