Ah, the old liberal argument.
With your line of thinking, Americans consume too much, so the rest of the world should have no respect for them and should punish them for their over-indulgence.
And that is what we are talking about here....punishment, not respect.

Why is it “respectful” to force a thinner person to give up a significant part (in some cases, parts of either side) of his or her seat because a huge person is too cheap to purchase either 2 seats in coach or a seat in first class? Isn’t that thinner or normal-sized individual then punished with that loss of space and the resulting discomfort he or she paid for?
