Wow. I can't even believe this is being discussed. Discriminating on the basis of age is no different than discriminating on the basis of gender, race, or sexual orientation. To all those who are annoyed by kids, let's make a zone on the plane off limits to blacks, Jews, gays, and women (because the...
