No seriously, you bring up a valid point. What WOULD we have you do?
Hmmm, well, maybe show THIS thread to management. I dunno if it would matter but they'd have to at least raise an eyebrow and ask themselves if there's a way to help quell the activities of the grosser set. I mean, yeah, yer right, not everyone is going to care or follow it, but whatever makes a person do a certain behavior can at least be studdied and some set of things can be done to make it less want-to-be-doable by people. I am not qualified as a psychologist but hey, put it this way: If you wanted your child to stop eating candy, maybe let a piece fall into a pile of ants on a walk one day and maybe they will see it and go "ewwww, gross!" I wont eat those anymore mommy!

I dunno. I figure the airlines have some abilities to study mass human psychology more than I ever would. maybe it's a paint/fabric color that should be chosen inside the plane that could make people less inclined to do some of the things they do.

hey, just a thought... worth considering. MM
