Manners? Whoulda thunk it?

I admire this guy, and not because I'm anti-child -- *everyone* should behave themselves in public, and we learn it as children. There are places we can be loud and boisterous, and places where we speak in more moderate tones and sit calmly. Children have to learn that, and parents have to teach it. This guy is just promoting that process.

What I like is that "Children of all ages" ... i.e. some of the teenagers, 20-somethings, 30-somethinges, etc. who are basically still behaving as children (my Dad fit that description to a T) are also invited to not go there.

Monitor your children, teach them to be responsible, help make this a better country. It isn't that crazy an idea but some people seem to find it to be. I was at the Spanish Riding School of Vienna over the weekend in the $75 seats (before the discounts I scored) and there were at least 2 small children in the row behind us. I hear that they were kicking the seats in front of them the entire first act (just over an hour long). Why in the world did the parents think that they would sit still for that long? If not, why didn't the parents leave? Fortunately, while their chatter wasn't quiet, it wasn't THAT loud (merely very piercing).i
