[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reduction to aburdity is a logical fallacy that is made when one makes an argument like yours -- "Give up cholesterol?  Why, next you'll say that people should just give up eating all together!  Why don't we just all STARVE TO DEATH!"

The person who suggested that people not recline had a logical argument.  Your suggestion that this was equivalent to saying we no longer use parking spaces was absurd.[/quote]

i disagree.  but maybe this analogy might be closer (and certainly better than putting a high chair in the middle of an aisle).  is it inconsiderate to use overhead bin space?  do you know how annoyed i am when i get to my chair and see that someone has stuffed their suitcase in the overhead bin and now there is no room for my laptop and coat?  but i don't begrudge them.  they are conditoned to do this because the overhead bin was made specifically to accommodate his size suitcase, and the airlines would otherwise charge this person at least $25 to check it.  if airlines didn't make room for overhead luggage or reclining seats, they would certainly lose business.  it is what we pay for.  and what they are there for.
