There are two sides to that coin. Your opinion is just as easily neither conservative or Christian.
What is the other side?
Do you feel entitled to shove your seat into someone else's face without any regard for their comfort?
Have you ever bothered to ask the person behind you if it would be ok to recline your seat? Or do you think that just because there is a recline button that you are privileged to use it and to hell with the person behind you?
Airplanes that were designed to carry 80 passengers are now carrying 120 passengers and the recliner seats were designed to be used in the former case. If you recline your seat without any consideration for the comfort of the person behind you, then your freeper handle is appropriate.
