No Kids Allowed

The post title refers to an article on Yahoo describing the growing movement of "No Kids Allowed" in a host of public airlines, hotels, restaurants, stores, theaters, vacation spots of all sorts. The article is well written and reports pros and cons about this movement. Here is a clip from the article which gives a balanced report of how this has come to be:

"Brat bans could well be the next frontier in destination and leisure-product marketing," writes Robert Klara in an article on the child-free trend in AdWeek. Klara points to Leavethembehind.com, a travel website for kid-free vacations, with a massive list of yoga retreats, luxury resorts and bargain hotels around the world that ban children.


When did kids become the equivalent of second-hand smoke? Blame a wave of childless adults with money to spare. "Empty nesters continue to wield a huge swath of discretionary spending dollars, and population dips in first-world countries mean more childless couples than ever," writes AdWeek's Klara.

I was happy to see this insert by the author, as to who is pushing this movement to ban kids. Yep, you guessed it, childless couples who have lots of money! Don't worry, there are plenty like me who love kids and their playfulness; in fact there will be plenty of places where kids will be welcome. Many childless couples are quite a bore anyway!

There's a quaint old expression "What's good for the goose is good for the Gander"

which is apropos here. For every "Kids Not Allowed" enterprise there will be a "Kids Welcome" enterprise for two reasons; First, not all business people dislike kids, and second there are plenty of business people who will cater to those having kids because moms with kids have money too!

Now, banning all kids and not just the rowdy and undisciplined kids is clearly discriminatory.

But I wonder what a lot of the secular, pro-abortion judges would say if this went to court? I hope someone challenges these exclusionary bans in court. Can you imagine an African-American woman walking into one of these "No kids Allowed" restaurants with her two kids and being asked to leave? Wow!

What are people in this so-called "ban the kids" movement thinking? Even dogs are allowed in restaurants (seeing eye dogs) for good reasons. Unfortunately we live in a time in which national government officials do whatever they want in forcing all kinds of regulations on businesses and individuals when these regulations have neither been studied nor passed by Congress (Referring to a 2,000 page document which no member of congress, nor member of the public, was given time to digest, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said "you have to pass it to see what's in it") So why not kick the kids out; who cares whether it's constitutional or not.

This movement, I believe, is a reflection of the attitudes of many, but not a majority, of Americans who are pro- abortion and would not at all mind that there be more childless couples than couples with children. They apparently care not a wit that such an attitude eventually leads to population decline; and sometimes population decline gets so bad that we see a whole people disappear.
