P.S. Netflix and Blockbuster is your friend.

Roger that! Plus, my month long supply of NetFlix costs less than one night out in the movie theatre - not that that is important.

Plus, there have been very, very few entertaining movies worth spending the money, especially to put up with the universal rudeness. I can get abused by DynaBlue cheaper at home!

I am one who pays attention to such things, keeping my voice hushed and covered when on a phone anywhere in public, for so many reasons. However, I have, more than I care to think, found myself being too loud in public (usually when talking to a relative ). So, there are times when I need to be reminded. The moment of "insult" quickly passes, and I quickly comply. Meaning, a request for quiet should not be considered a confrontation.

But, our modern "society" does not seem to be very "social." 'Nuff said....

I'm so very glad the couple are OK and will receive no further action from this (unless they actually live in the "'hood"). This does sound like what used to be called a "rumble" against "outsiders" (does anything really change over the years?).

However, the anti's will say, "No one was killed or seriously injured, and the kids (who were just acting like kids, in the theater and out) are in jail. There was no reason for shooting kids."

I'm guessing that gang will be even more belligerent in the future.
