In-Flight Entertainment: Not Always Suitable for Children
I have noticed for years now that the first thing people who have childen do upon bringing them home from the hospital is to start looking around for someone else to take dare of them. Like Ms. Hillry says, many people are convinced that, “It takes a village.”
Well, I chose *not* to have children and I do resent your inducting me into your village to help you raise your kids just because *you* chose to spawn. I have to pay for your kids’ healthcare and education already, and I have to put up with their noisy antics in restaurants and the supermarket and the library, but do we now have to make airlines kid-friendly, too, while the rest of us are suffering from being strip-searched like terrorists?
Please, get a little persepective on the millions of children who were raised in the middle of the Revolutionary War and the Civil War, not to mention the Great Depression and the election of Barack Obama, and figure out that even two 90-minute movies on an airline is not going to scar your little darlings for life.
Unless, of course, they are Disney movies and feature the death of Bambi’s mother or Old Yeller.
