And yet it feels good to me once in awhile at least to make that futile effort. To those who assert their right to wear and do whatever they think is "appropriate" in such shared public spaces as airplanes and justify their behavior by saying it's, well, their right, I quote George Bernard Shaw (or maybe Bertrand Russell) who said "Do not do unto others as you expect they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same."
