hi all,

flying with babys is a rather unhappy event - even if it's only a
short flight of one or two hours. certain low-cost-carriers here in
europe offer only straps that are attached to the seat belts.
although i am not a friend of car seats and don't thnik that small
babys should stay in one for for more than an hour per day max, on a
plane it might be the best solution.

if we were built to fly, we would have grown wings....

Because the Medieval Church, with the support of kings, princes and
secular authorities, controlled medical education and practice, the
Inquisition constitutes, among other things, an early instance of the
"professional" repudiating the skills and interfering with the rights
of the "nonprofessional" to minister to the poor. -Thomas Szasz, The
Manufacture of Madness-
