My kids are too young, (5 and 9) to be affected, but I hate to see good teenagers punished for the actions of a few. Movies as a babysitter? For teenagers? We all went to movies with our friends when we were teenagers, and if we caused problems, we were sent out or the police were called. Deal with the individuals causing the problems.
I think that the policy is over-reaching, but I agree that talking and texting during movies is a big problem. However, many of the people I see texting are not kids, but adults. No matter how hard we try, we can't policy our way to good manner and basic courtesy.
Let's not make assumptions, Westsider. We don't know what information was presented by Holt to the board.
And what any of this mess, which has been years in the making, has to do with Pres. Obama, I don't know. I think some of you just like to hear yourselves type.
Seriously, This Phelps flap is a collective national over-reaction. This is just another case of the media telling us what we should be outraged about.
"But Phelps is role model" you say. He's also a man in his twenties, and shouldn't we remember that another man who indulged in drugs and alcohol in his youth just served two terms as our president?
It still escapes me how someone who is supposedly serving in Iraq has both the time and internet access to make roughly 100 vindy.com posts.
leftofst8, you are absolutely right to point out that the son of our friends is currently serving in Iraq, and he has a lesbian mother. Talk about a sacrifice. She lives everyday with the knowledge that her son might not make it home, goes long stretches without hearing from him (he doesn't have the internet access that Tomcat does), all for a country that denies her basic civil rights, and yet she, and her partner, proudly display the American flag. I thank him for his service, and I thank his mothers for their sacrifice.
When I saw that mets and black were commenting here, I thought I'd check it out. Mets, I have to agree with black on this one. 6K? Wow? That money could have stopped people from losing their homes. Foreclosure rates, unemployment are high right now. "Misguided" is a good word for it.

Stan, you know what are of "no use whatsoever?" I'll give you a hint. There are currently 1126 of them. Does that number sound familiar?

The landlords are the property owners, and in nearly every city, township, whatever, there are ordinance codes to which property owners must adhere.
