Oh, brother. First we're debating whether kids belong on airplanes, and now in hotel lounges.

I think that the answer is "no", but if the 10 page thread on whether children belong on planes is any indication, we're not going to reach a consensus on this topic, either. Let me give a preview - some folks will argue that kids cause impositions that others shouldn't have to tolerate, and still other people will say "my kids are well behaved most of the time, and if they act up just at the moment we enter the club lounge, too bad. I'm doing the best that I can." Yes, I'm oversimplifying, but I'll bet this is the direction the discussion takes.

Can't we just assume that the opinions on this topic are applicable to airline club lounges, airplanes, hotel lounges, fine dining establishments, and just about everywhere else we venture in our travels?
