What a brilliant anti-corruption strategy.

Why on earth has this usually insightful writer lost his reason? The logic there is inane. Why compare lean beef to fatty beef when you could compare both to lentils?

Response to comment: I agree that families should be able to sit together for free, but I don't think it's fair that they get an exception; if families get to pick their seats free, everyone else should, too. Making everyone else pay would be unfair, so--just in terms of fairness--the fee should be an all or nothing thing. I was just talking to someone today who was considering traveling with kids. She was talking about a friend whose kid demands French toast everywhere they go. Um, who lets their kids do that??
